Student data retention in Jakarta

Jakarta schools under Dinas Pendidikan DKI run Kurikulum Merdeka while international and national-plus campuses overlay Cambridge or IB. SPMB/PPDB-style public admissions and private waitlists coexist in the same city.

Fees and many services attract PPN. Quotes in Rupiah that hide tax will not match the receipt a parent is told to download. Local named facts include Kurikulum Merdeka, Dinas Pendidikan DKI, Rupiah, PPN. Instrument: school record-retention practice for pupil files. Rupiah tuition with PPN on eligible items; do not bury tax in a round number. July-ish national year for many schools; international campuses may overlay a northern calendar on the same staff.

Local education and data-protection rules differ. The operational failure is keeping everything forever in an inbox, or deleting a file a board still asks for. Retention periods are jurisdiction-specific. This is not a privacy-law opinion. Appoint a school data owner. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
