Regent Directs Rehabilitation of Damaged Classrooms at SMPN 02 Ngamprah

The Bandung Barat Education Office in West Java will begin rehabilitating three classrooms at SMPN 02 Ngamprah, responding to a directive from Regent Jeje Ritchie Ismail. The school has long needed repairs, with its current condition described as moderately damaged.

Edy Syafrudin, the acting head of the Education Office, stated that the rehabilitation will proceed in phases. This year's focus is on three classrooms, with an estimated budget of Rp 400 million. "Dinas Pendidikan akan melaksanakan rehabilitasi secara bertahap, ini berdasarkan arahan dari Bapak Bupati. SMPN 02 Ngamprah tahun ini yang direhab 3 ruang kelas. Perkiraan biayanya itu Rp400 juta," Edy said.

The phased approach is necessary because the regional budget is allocated across various schools for both elementary and junior high levels. In total, Rp 20 billion is earmarked for classroom rehabilitation across the region in 2026. This includes 134 classrooms in 80 elementary schools and 48 classrooms in 18 junior high schools, with Rp 16 billion allocated for each level.

Additionally, the Education Office has proposed repairs for 29 classrooms at SMPN 02 Ngamprah to the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, though approval is still pending. Edy also urged schools to utilize operational assistance funds (BOS), which can allocate up to 20% for maintenance, to address minor damages like a partially damaged wall.
