JAKARTA (July 29, 2020) – Minister of Social Affairs Juliari P. Batubara visited educational activities for Beneficiary Families (KPM) through the Family Capacity Building Meeting (P2K2) in the Family Hope Program (PKH) in Kebon Pala Village, Makasar District, East Jakarta.

P2K2 is better known by PKH recipients as PKH Schools, because in PKH schools, they get various materials ranging from materials on health and nutrition, family financial management, childcare and education and various other sciences that have been outlined in the P2K2 implementation manual.

In front of 18 KPM PKH, the Minister of Social Affairs requested that P2K2 continues to be implemented by following health procedures established by the government.

"Even though now the conditions are a little bit difficult because of COVID-19, ladies and gentlemen must remain optimistic, and still confident," said Social Minister Juliari in Jakarta, Tuesday (28/7).

To all facilitators, said the father of two children, are also back to carrying out your duties, although now it is a bit different, "You have to wear a mask, you have to wash your hands with soap, you can't sit closely each other, however, the program must keep running," said Minister of Social Affairs Ari, calling familiarly.

P2K2 activities are mandatory activities containing knowledge, skills and attitudes related to the distribution of PKH social assistance provided by assistants and must be followed by all KPM.

When social assistance is distributed, KPM PKH is equipped with the ability to be empowered and ready to be independent or graduate through educational activities in P2K2 so that KPM can manage the social assistance properly.

The event was also attended by the Director General of Social Protection and Security Pepen Nazaruddin, Director of Family Social Security Rachmat Koesnadi, Head of Makasar Sub-District Kamal Alatas and Head of Kebon Pala Village, Faisal Rizal.

On this occasion, Pepen Nazaruddin stated that the graduation target was 10% or one million KPM.

"This year, we are targeting 10% of KPM PKH to graduate. In DKI Jakarta alone, 160 thousand KPM have graduated," said Pepen.

According to him, this is inseparable from the participation of PKH Human Resources (HR), starting from assistants, City Coordinators (Korkot), to District and Regency Coordinators.

Meanwhile, when met after conducting P2K2, PKH Facilitator of Kebon Pala Village, Wardiyaningsih, admitted that he was happy and motivated because the P2K2 he gave to KPM was attended directly by the Minister of Social Affairs.

"I feel happy and motivated by the presence of the Minister, meaning that he respects our activities, PKH assistants, even in a pandemic like this," said the woman who is usually called Ning by her KPM.

Although he was nervous about delivering the material in front of the Minister of Social Affairs, he slowly admitted that he could handle it.

"Surely it is very humane if I am nervous, I just make it flow because of course I have to master the P2K2 material which I will convey to KPM," said Ning.

The presence of the Minister of Social Affairs in P2K2 for KPM PKH, he continued, was a matter of pride for Ning. The reason was, he could use this opportunity at the same time to motivate and prove to the KPM that P2K2 was indeed an obligatory activity to be participated in PKH so that the Minister agreed to present in their midst that afternoon.
