On August 19, team members of DBE1 Jakarta, Central Java, held a workshop to support National Education Standard Board (Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan or BSNP) to calculate unit cost of components for school operation in SD/MI, SMP/MTs, SMA and SLB. This workshop was attended by Head and Deputy Head of Education Expenses Standard Division of BSNP, Jepara Education Office Head and other representatives, principals and heads of program study from 12 schools which consisted of schools for able and disable students. In this workshop, DBE1 assisted schools to complete different instruments with information related to unit cost for each education cost components. This lessons learned from this process will then be used by BSNP to improve its instruments to be used by other districts in the nation

Participants from different schools in Jepara busy inputting their information into different BSNP instruments

Participants from different schools were eager to take part although the BSNP instruments available were not suitable for all types of schools and study programs. For example, representatives from a senior high school for disabled students were unable to input their data because an appropriate instrument was not yet available. As a result, an instrument for junior high school for disabled students was used. Participants also had to learn how to use the software correctly to ensure that data was correctly recorded.

Afterwards, participants from the schools expressed their hope that they could continue to be involved in calculating unit costs for their schools because, with this knowledge, they would know exactly how much funds they must prepare to support the school’s activities. This knowledge is particularly helpful because schools still rely on funds from district government and community contributions

The Head of the Jepara Education Office officially opened the workshop and provides guidance to the participants

Representatives of BSNP on the other hand expressed his hope that as more schools are involved in the process, the district government and education office will be more aware of current funding gaps and could develop and implement plans to improve this situation. It was further stated that BSNP will revise the instruments according to the inputs of the workshop participants.
