The legislature of the proposal for PTS operational funds, Dictii, will communicate with the Ministry of Finance

Jakarta – Member of the House of Representatives Commission X PDIP Faction Sofyan Tan proposed the existence of funds for operating aid for private higher education (BOPTs). Dictionary Brian Yuliarto said he would communicate with the finance ministry (Kemenkeu). Initially, Sofyan questioned the auxiliary budget to PTS. Sofyan assessed that PTS’s contribution to students was quite high. “Therefore, we compare that there are no differences in private and public, according to the 1945 law, the State Constitution states that,” Sofyan said in a meeting with the House of Representatives’ Commission X at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday (8/27/2025). Browse to continue with the content, there is an unfair treatment between PTN (state universities) and PTs (private higher education). He said the government budgeted PTN operating costs in 2026 of RP 5.8 trillion for 120 ptn. “In fact, it received a revival of RP. 533 billion, and infrastructure was RP 2.3 trillion. While PTs received only 300 billion RP,” he said. Sofyan also suggested the existence of BOPTS. According to him, BOPTS will help students at PTS a lot. “Just as in the elementary, junior high school, high school, professional school, there is the same forest fund, even for RP High School 1.8 million. Now when I see that BOPTN RP gets 5.8 trillion for 5.400.058 students, it is almost RP 1.2 million,” he explained. “This means that if you want to fight for it, enough points can also get 1 million RP, it is good, if necessary, because according to the BopTN number it is about 1.2 million per student per student. If given, there is a sense of justice,” he continued. In response, Brian emphasized that the government did not discriminate against PTN or PTs. He claims to communicate the budget to the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu). “So it is related to the partiality, and of course we have never discouraged, ladies and gentlemen, PTN and PTs. And earlier it appears that the proposal is good, both BOPTs or PTS also receive operating costs,” he said. “We will try to communicate with the Ministry of Finance, Bappenas and others. So that it will be realized, as the boss usually so for medium and basic,” Brian continued. He then expressed his gratitude for the input of members of the House of Representatives Commission X. Brian said he would work for BOPTS. “Thank you for the input. And at the same time, we encourage to encourage the increase while it can be realized, we continue to increase the financing budget for PTS, while hopefully relating it quickly to such Bop,” he said.
