The zoning system is a hopeful path for parents who want their children to be admitted to schools near their homes. In Jakarta, subdistricts are given a 55 percent quota of the total new students. Every child can enroll in three public schools. Files such as birth certificates, family cards and absolute accountability letters are uploaded to the official PPDB Jakarta website. The school will later check the files according to the provisions. After that, the PPDB computer system ranks the child to be accepted at the school. The determinant factor is the age of the child. For elementary schools, priority is given to 7-year-old students.
