EVALUATION OF THE JAKARTA CARD PROGRAM FOR EXCELLENT STUDENTS (KJMU) IN THE RAWAMANGUN VILLAGE AREA

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the Jakarta Superior Student Card (KJMU) Program in the Rawamangun Village area, East Jakarta. KJMU is an initiative of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government designed to improve access to higher education for students from underprivileged families. The evaluation method used in this study is the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model, which comprehensively analyzes various aspects of the program. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the KJMU program in Rawamangun Village has been running well, but there are still several challenges, such as the lack of socialization regarding the use of funds, uncertainty of the disbursement schedule, and the need for stricter evaluation in the recipient selection process. In addition, KJMU recipients are expected to better understand their rights and obligations in order to optimally utilize the assistance. Recommendations resulting from this study include increasing socialization, training for recipients, and strengthening monitoring mechanisms to ensure that the KJMU program can have a significant impact on improving access to education for students from underprivileged economic backgrounds. This study is expected to contribute to the development of education policies in DKI Jakarta and increase the effectiveness of the KJMU program in the future.
