Tangerang City Education Office Officially Launches New Student Admission System (SPMB) for Academic Year 2025/2026

 

Tangerang City, May 28, 2025 – The Tangerang City Education Office has officially announced and conducted a socialization of the New Student Admission System (SPMB) for the Academic Year 2025/2026. The admission process prioritizes transparency, easy online access, and structured quota allocations based on student domicile and achievements.

Legal Framework and Implementation of SPMB 2025

The implementation of the Tangerang City SPMB follows several key regulations, including the Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation Number 3 of 2025 on New Student Admission Systems, as well as Tangerang Mayor Decrees No. 496 and No. 422 of 2025 that regulate technical guidelines and domicile determinations for elementary and junior high school admissions.

Online Pre-Registration and Registration Process

Prospective students for both elementary (SD) and junior high schools (SMP) are required to complete an online pre-registration through the official website praspmb.tangerangkota.go.id. During this stage, applicants must submit important administrative documents such as National Identity Number (NIK), Family Card Number (KK), National Student Identification Number (NISN), parents’ identification, and academic report cards for out-of-city graduates or previous year graduates.

After data verification by the Education Office, applicants will receive a PIN used to proceed with the main registration independently via spmbmandiri.tangerangkota.go.id or the mobile application.

Admission Pathways and Quotas

The Tangerang SPMB defines multiple admission pathways with clear quota distribution and priorities:

• Domicile Pathway (80% quota), subdivided into:

  • School environment domicile (40%)

  • Regional domicile (20%)

  • General domicile/inter-regional (15%)

  • Outside Tangerang City domicile (5%)

• Affirmation Pathway (15% quota), for students from low-income families registered under government social assistance programs.

• Mutation Pathway (5% quota), for students relocating due to parental job transfers.

• Disability Pathway, with a dedicated quota, accepting a maximum of 2 students per elementary school and 2.5% of the affirmation quota at junior high school level.

• Achievement Pathway, for students with academic or non-academic competition achievements within a specified validity period.

Priorities and General Conditions

For elementary level, students must be at least 6 years old by July 1, 2025, with priority given to those aged 7 and above. Exceptions are made for gifted children aged 5 years 6 months or older, supported by professional psychological recommendations.

Applicants under the disability pathway must provide official certification of their condition and pass an initial assessment ensuring a minimum IQ of 80 for readiness to pursue formal education.

Important Admission Schedule for 2025

Pre-registration opens from April 21 to July 10, 2025, for elementary level and until July 6, 2025, for junior high level. Verification, announcement of results, and re-registration are scheduled in phases aligned with each admission pathway, with the first announcement in June and the second phase in July 2025.

Capacity and Regional Mapping

The total intake capacity for elementary schools is 25,312 students from 41,881 graduates, while junior high schools can admit 21,168 students from 30,670 graduates. The allocation is mapped across Tangerang’s East, Central, and West zones to ensure equitable access to education.

System Implementation and Expectations

The online SPMB system aims to facilitate parents and students to register easily without needing to visit schools physically, while promoting fairness and transparency in selection. The Tangerang Education Office also emphasizes inclusive education by providing dedicated quotas for students with disabilities and those from economically disadvantaged families.

Drs. H. Sachrudin, Mayor of Tangerang, along with Drs. H. Jamaluddin, M.Pd, Head of the Education Office, encourage all residents to utilize the online system optimally and comply with the scheduled deadlines to ensure a smooth student admission process.
