Discuss on Poverty Management, Synergy of BBPPKS DIY and Commission VIII DPR RI
YOGYAKARTA (June 24, 2022) - Yogyakarta Center for Social Welfare Education
and Training (BBPPKS) received a working visit from Commission VIII of the
House of Representatives (DPR RI) to supervise the role of the Center as a
Social Welfare Training institution for Social Welfare HR.
During the visit, members of Commission VIII of the
DPR saw the achievements of the implementation of the training activities at the
UPT (Technical Implementation Unit) belonging to MoSA. They also get various
information on poverty alleviation in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province.
MY Esti Wijayanti, in her speech, said that the
training center is a central point for strengthening MoSA’s programs.
"Education and training provided must
contribute to the community. The implementation is carried out in stages and
continuously," said Esti.
BBPPKS Yogyakarta, continued Esti, must be able to
anticipate challenges and improve quality to move in a better direction. She
paid special attention to the development of education
and training implementation.
"So far, efforts have been made by MoSA to
help vulnerable poor communities, such as orphans whose parents died due to
COVID-19. However, this should not stop there, but how to prepare these
children to be more independent by providing skills and independence in the
future," said Esti.
Not only handling poverty, Commission VIII and
BBPPKS Yogyakarta also discussed the obstacles and problems in the
implementation of training by the Center. Eva Rahmi Kasim the Head of BBPPKS
Yogyakarta stated that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the
technical implementation of the training.
"In the last 2 years, the implementation of training
aimed at ASN (Civil Servant) and Community Social Workers (PSM) has been mostly
done online as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic," Eva explained.
As a result, said Eva, the achievement of learning
objectives was not optimal.
"Before COVID-19, the field practice is directly accompanied
and guided by the facilitators, but due to the implementation of online
training, it cannot be optimal," said Eva.
In the future, BBPPKS Yogyakarta will carry out
more applied or technical training towards the empowerment of Social Welfare
Service Recipients (PPKS).
