| Publication Title | Education Studies at the Front Line Evaluation of Frontline Schools and Frontline Teachers Programs |
| Projects | This study explores the unit cost of the Jakarta Excellent Student Card (KJMU) of DKI Jakarta Province in 2022 to optimize educational assistance for students from underprivileged families. Data shows the low Gross Participation Rate (APK) of Higher Education in DKI Jakarta, which is 40.34, far below the APK of Middle Schools. The KJMU program, with assistance of IDR 9 million per semester according to DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation No. 91 of 2020, covers education costs, transportation, nutritious food, and learning needs. However, the evaluation shows the need to update the unit cost to adjust to the needs of 2022. This study aims to recalculate the unit cost, evaluate the effectiveness of the program, and provide policy recommendations to improve the accessibility and quality of higher education in DKI Jakarta. |

This study evaluates the implementation of the Frontline Teachers (GGD) and Frontline Schools (SGD) Program as part of the government's efforts to develop 3T (Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Outermost) areas in accordance with the third Nawacita. This program aims to improve the quality of education by adding civil servant teachers and revitalizing school infrastructure. Using the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method and qualitative studies in East Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara, this study explores policy design, implementation, and the initial impact of the program on access to education and student learning outcomes.
This report is part of Article 33 Indonesia’s study to understand the effectiveness of education affirmation programs in 3T areas. Findings show that GGD allocations have not fully targeted schools that need them most, but the program has succeeded in increasing the adequacy of civil servant teachers and reducing national exam score disparities within schools. However, the SGD program has not had a significant impact on students’ opportunities to continue their education to a higher level. The study also highlights the importance of considering cultural, religious, and economic aspects in teacher recruitment and the need for a more transparent allocation mechanism.
