Bandung, June 9 -- Deputy Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Atip Latipulhayat, has revealed that the education fee exemption mandated by a recent Constitutional Court decision will likely be rolled out in the next academic year in 2026.

"I think it will be quite difficult to be implemented this year because the budget year is already halfway through," he explained at the UPI Bandung campus on Monday.

The Constitutional Court's decision, which applies to both public and private schools, cannot be enforced without considering the financial aspects.

"We are currently coordinating with the relevant ministries to see the possibility of allocating the budget. The point is that it depends on the budget," he said.
