Many Expensive Tuition Fees, Nadiem: Only Applies to New Students with the Highest Economic Level

Nadiem ensures that the increase in UKT will not have a significant impact on students with low or unstable economic levels. This is because the principle of UKT prioritizes the principles of justice and inclusivity.

"And because of that, UKT is always tiered. What does it mean? It means that for students who come from more affluent families, they pay more. And for those who are less capable, they pay less."
"Clearly."

According to him, this has been implemented by the Ministry of Education and Culture. He also agrees that the principle of justice for all Indonesian people must be upheld and defended.

"And only students who are able to pay are placed in the middle and high UKT groups according to their abilities,"
say Nadiem.

The former CEO of Gojek ensured that the increase in tuition fees would not affect the students' education process. Moreover, it would not lead to a situation where students are unable to attend classes due to higher tuition fees.

"There should be no student who fails the course or suddenly has to pay more as a result of this policy," said Nadiem. "Those who may be affected are students from families with the highest economic level. Indeed, it is for students from families with the highest economic level," he added.
