Kementerian Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah

What Kementerian Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah does

Kementerian Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah (Kemendikdasmen), commonly abbreviated Kemendikdasmen, is the Government of Indonesia's ministry responsible for primary and secondary education, formally established in October 2024 under Presidential Regulation No. 139 Tahun 2024 as a spin-off from the former Kementerian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset, dan Teknologi (Kemendikbudristek). The ministry oversees the full Indonesian basic education stack — early childhood education (PAUD), primary (SD), junior secondary (SMP), senior secondary (SMA), vocational secondary (SMK), and special education (SLB) — and is responsible for implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum) across more than 300,000 schools nationwide. It operates the constitutional mandate of Wajib Belajar 13 Tahun (13-year compulsory education) and is led by Minister Abdul Mu'ti with Deputy Minister Fajar Riza Ul Haq under the Red and White Cabinet of President Prabowo for the 2024-2029 term.

Kemendikdasmen runs a portfolio of digital platforms supporting its mandate, including the SPMB (Sistem Penerimaan Murid Baru) nationwide student admission system and its SPMB Ramah variant for early childhood, the Rumah Pendidikan education services portal, Data Pendidikan Daerah for regional education statistics, Rapor Publik for performance transparency, Kursus Digital for online learning, Repositori for official documents, Perpustakaan for educational literature, and a CASN recruitment platform for educator hiring. Supporting units include the Secretariat General, the Directorate General of Early Childhood and Primary Secondary Education, the Directorate General of Vocational and Special Education, the Directorate General of Teachers and Education Personnel, the Inspectorate General, the Language Development Agency, and the Policy Agency for Primary and Secondary Education.

The ministry is a public-sector entity wholly owned by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and funded through the State Budget (APBN). It does not generate commercial revenue; education services are provided free of charge to Indonesian citizens. Its distribution operates through the national school network spanning every province and regency, complemented by multi-channel public communications (press releases, official social media on X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok), the Majalah Jendela publication series, and cross-ministerial coordination with GPR Komdigi for digital communication. Customer segments include students (PAUD, SD/SMP, SMA/SMK), teachers (Guru), parents (Orang Tua), schools (Sekolah), regional governments (Pemda), partners (Mitra), and the broader public (Masyarakat).
