Program was greatly utilized by schools to improve educational equity in
Pasirian 3 Middle School. With this program students at SMPN 3 Pasirian can continue their education
well and can also overcome the economic problems of the students' families. This includes
meeting the needs of school students to continue Education. The inhibiting factor in the Smart Indonesia Program is students' lack of
understanding of the Smart Indonesia Card program. They only understand the
procedures for using KIP funds, but they do not really understand the PIP fund
proposal requirements, making it difficult for schools to conduct data collection so that the school always conducts socialization
about the KIP Program, which is at the meeting of the parents of new student
admissions and the threat factor is the decreasing level of education due to
the inaccurate targeting of the Kartu Indonesia Pintar. The KIP program needs to be developed so that children who drop out of
school can continue their education well and properly. As well as to improve
educational equity through the KIP program to be even more successful going
forward.
