Jakarta (B2B) - Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Kemendikbud) segera menutup Taman Kana-kanak (TK) Jakarta International School (JIS), Cilandak, Jakarta Selatan mulai Senin (21/4) mendatang. Pihak Kemendikbud, melalui Direktorat Jendral Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (Ditjen PAUD) Non-formal dan formal akan langsung mengirimkan surat resmi terkait penutupan tersebut.
"Hari Senin kita antarkan surat penutupan sementara untuk JIS," tegas Lydia Freyani H, Dirjen PAUD Kemendikbud, Sabtu (19/4).
Lydia menambahkan, semua kegiatan operasional TK JIS harus segera dihentikan. Mereka harus merumahkan siswa dan guru-guru.
"Kita mau penuhi persyaratan perizinan, dan saya kira kalau mereka koperatif ini sebentar. Pak menteri memberikan waktu sebulan penutupan, tapi tim audit kami sudah bergerak dari Kamis (17/4) dan diharapkan akan selesai Rabu (23/4)," ungkapnya.
Lydia percaya pihak JIS bisa bersikap koperatif. "Kan meskipun waktu itu pengantar surat pemanggilan tidak bisa masuk, tapi mereka datang juga. Saya yakin mereka tidak berani macam-macam," katanya.
Tim investigasi dan audit memeriksa berkas-berkas sebagai acuan perizinan dari TK JIS tersebut. Karena JIS sendiri hanya sekolah internasional dan bukanlah sekolah perwakilan diplomatik.
"JIS itu bukan sekolah perwakilan diplomatik yang memakai kurikulum negara yang diwakilinya. Ini sekolah internasional, syaratnya itu siswa anak Indonesia boleh di sana sedangkan sekolah diplomatik dilarang," ungkapnya.
Beberapa syarat untuk sekolah internasional siswa anak Indonesia minimal 30% dari jumlah tenaga kependidikan seperti tata usaha 80% warga Indonesia, dan tenaga guru pendidik 30% harus orang Indonesia.
"Kita belum bisa mendapatkan berkas-berkas itu," ucapnya.
Jakarta (B2B) - Indonesian Education and Culture Ministry on Monday (4/21) will close Jakarta International School (JIS) Kindergarten, Cilandak, South Jakarta. Through Formal and Informal Early Childhood Education Center (PAUD) General Directorate, the ministry will send the official letter related to JIS Kindergarten closing.
“We will send a letter about (the kindergarten) temporary closing to JIS,” stated Formal and Informal PAUD Directorate General for Education and Culture Ministry, Lydia Freyani H, Saturday (4/19).
Freyani asserted that all JIS Kindergarten operational activities have to be stopped and the school must send home its students and teachers.
“We want them (JIS Kindergarten) to complete permit requirements. If they were being cooperative, I think it would only take a while. The (Education and Culture) Minister gives a month to close the school, but our audit team has moved since Thursday (4/17) and hopefully finished on Wednesday (4/23),” she uttered.
Freyani believes that JIS could act cooperatively. “Although the officials who delivered the summoning letter could not enter (the school), but they (JIS officials) still came. I’m sure they will not dare to do something wrong,” she expressed.
For information, the investigation and audit team examines documents as permit refferal from JIS Kindergarten. This is because JIS is only an international school, not a diplomatic representative school.
“ JIS is not a diplomatic representative school that uses curriculum of countries it represents. It is an international school. It allows Indonesian students study there, while diplomatic representative school prohibits such a thing ,” she explained.
One of the requirements of international school is that it must have at least 30 percent of Indonesian students from the total amount of educational employees there. Moreover, the school must also have 80 percent of administration employees and Indonesian teachers at least 30 percent.
“We haven’t had those documents yet,” admitted Freyani.
