Rector of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Prof. Asep Saepudin Jahar, spearheaded a visit to several educational institutions on Thursday (4/6/2026) to socialize and implement a ministerial decree on integrating foundation schools into the university's Public Service Body (BLU).

The integration process, guided by the Decree of the Minister of Religion (KMA) Number 1543 of 2025, aims to bring affiliated schools under UIN Jakarta's administrative and operational framework. The visit began at SMA and SMK Triguna, where the UIN Jakarta team encountered initial resistance from individuals claiming to represent the foundation.

Following dialogue and explanations, the team gained access and met with school principals and administrative staff to discuss the integration steps. The process continued to TK Islam Pembangunan and SD Islam Pembangunan Pamulang, where similar obstruction attempts occurred. However, mediation and the presence of police facilitated the team's entry and subsequent meetings with school management.

Alwanih, legal counsel for UIN Jakarta, asserted that all activities proceeded smoothly and did not disrupt classes. He noted that at the Pamulang locations, parent pick-up activities had concluded, ensuring no interference with academic schedules. The visit included key officials from UIN Jakarta and the Ministry of Religious Affairs, underscoring the importance of the integration initiative.

The condition shows that the learning and student pick-up activities have finished, so there is no disruption to academic activities as alleged by some parties.
