Private school associations in West Java, Indonesia, have voiced strong concerns regarding the planned 2026 new student admission system (SPMB). The associations claim they were not consulted during the system’s development, leading to a process they describe as complicated and disorganized. School owners within the Badan Musyawarah Perguruan Swasta (BMPS) West Java believe the new system lacks clarity and will create difficulties for both schools and prospective students. They fear the complexity will hinder fair access to education. Concerns center around the implementation details and potential for administrative burdens. The associations are requesting further dialogue with authorities to address these issues and ensure a smoother admission process. They seek greater involvement in future planning to prevent similar problems.
