There is Government Assistance of IDR 450 Thousand for those registered

KabarJawa.com – The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) recently announced a strategic plan to expand the reach of the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP). Starting next year, this educational assistance program will target up to the Kindergarten (TK) level.

As a form of the government’s seriousness, the Ministry of Basic Education has even allocated a special budget of IDR 400 billion to support the realization of this program.

With this expansion, kindergarten students who meet the criteria have the potential to receive cash assistance of IDR 450,000 per year, equivalent to the amount received by elementary school (SD) students.

Even though the official Technical Guidelines (Juknis) for implementing PIP at the kindergarten level have not been released in detail, the mechanism for checking recipients is not expected to be much different from the system that is already running at the elementary to high school levels. For this reason, based on the information collected KabarJawa.comThe following is a complete explanation.

Guide on How to Check PIP Recipients

For parents who want to confirm whether their child is registered as a beneficiary, the check can be done independently via a cellphone or computer. The following are the steps for checking via the SIPINTAR system:

Access the SIPINTAR Official Page

Open a browser application on your cellphone, such as Google Chrome or Safari. Visit the official Kemdikbud website at pip.kemdikbud.go.id.

Look for the Checking Column and Fill in the Identity

After that, on the main page (home page), scroll down to find the menu or column that says “Search for PIP Recipients”.

Then, enter the student’s identity data carefully:

• NISN: Type the child’s National Student Identification Number correctly.
• NIK: Type the child’s Population Identification Number listed on the Family Card (KK), not the parents’ NIK.

Security Verification

Afterwards, complete simple math calculations or retype the captcha code that appears on the screen to verify security.

Search Process Click the “Search PIP Recipient” button and wait a few moments for the system to process the data.

Check Search Results Status

After the data appears, parents need to pay attention to the status displayed on the screen. There are two important terms in distributing PIP funds:

• Nomination Decree: This status means that the student has been selected as a potential aid recipient. However, the funds have not yet been disbursed. Parents or guardians of students MUST immediately activate the account at the designated channeling bank so that the status changes to a Grant Decree.
• Grant Decree: This status indicates that the student’s account is active. The aid funds are ready to be disbursed or have been entered into the student’s Student Savings (SimPel) account.

Kindergarten PIP Registration Mechanism

Regarding the registration mechanism, it is important to understand that PIP applications are generally not carried out independently by parents via an online portal.

Based on mechanisms that apply at other levels, data on PIP recipients comes from the Ministry of Social Affairs’ Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) which is matched with Basic Education Data (Dapodik).

Therefore, registration or nominating student names is usually carried out by the school through the Dapodik operator, based on data on students who are eligible to receive assistance (for example, KIP holders or from underprivileged families).

Parents are advised to continue to monitor official information from their respective schools regarding the technicalities of TK PIP data collection for the 2026 fiscal year.

So, that was an explanation of how to check PIP TK 2026 recipients, complete with important information about it. Hope it is useful.***
