untuk 576 ribu siswa kurang mampu di DKI Jakarta melalui Kartu Jakarta Pintar (KJP) setelah tertunda sembilan bulan, dan dana KJP langsung ditransfer ke rekening masing-masing siswa.
Kepala Dinas Pendidikan DKI Jakarta, Lasro Marbun mengakui dana KJP sudah cair sejak Jumat pekan lalu (5/9) yang sempat tertunda, karena imbauan dari Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) agar tidak mencairkan dana hibah saat masa pemilihan presiden (Pilpres).
"Ya sudah cair sejak Jumat kemarin. Langsung ditransfer ke rekening masing-masing siswa," kata Lasro, di Balaikota DKI Jakarta, Senin (8/9).
Dia menambahkan, jumlah penerima KJP yang diajukan yakni sebanyak 579.089 peserta didik. Namun setelah dilakukan verifikasi, hanya 576.000 peserta didik yang berhak menerima KJP. "Yang diajukan 579.089 peserta didik, tapi yang cair hanya untuk 576.000 siswa."
Anggaran KJP di APBD DKI yakni sebesar Rp 799 miliar. Padahal, kebutuhan untuk bantuan dana KJP itu mencapai Rp 1,3 triliun. Usulan tambahan anggaran dalam APBD Perubahan yang diajukan Pemprov DKI tidak disetujui oleh DPRD DKI Jakarta.
Sekadar diketahui, besaran dana KJP yang diterima per bulan untuk siswa SD, Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) atau sederajat sebesar Rp 180.000. Untuk siswa SMP, Madrasah Tsanawiyah (Mts) atau sederajat sebesar Rp 210.000 per bulan. Sementara untuk siswa SMA, SMK, Madrasah Aliyah (MA) sederajat sebesar Rp 240.000. Dana tersebut dibagikan setiap tiga bulan sekali kepada siswa.
