An effort that can ensure and become a benchmark in child-friendly information service provision in an optimal manner is necessary
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Ministry conducts standardization of the Child-Friendly Information Center (PISA) to ensure the quality and suitability of optimal child-friendly information provision facility in districts or cities.

"We have also developed the PISA guideline to create PISA standardization," the Ministry's Child's Rights Fulfillment Deputy, Agustina Erni, stated during the 2022 PISA Standardization Dissemination online event on Tuesday.

PISA standardization aims to maximize the function of information service for children in society.

"An effort that can ensure and become a benchmark in child-friendly information service provision in an optimal manner is necessary," she stressed.

The PISA standardization process begins with a talk show and dissemination, PISA form filling technical training, management system development, self-assessment training, self-assessment process, review from the internal and external assessor team to final form filling result evaluation plenary meeting.

Districts and cities, with the commitment to follow the standardization process, continue to increase. To this day, 149 service institutions have already applied for the 2022 PISA standardization, Erni added.

Meanwhile, in order to have the information service institution for children that districts or cities already owned become standardized PISA, they need to fulfill six standards.

These comprise the aspects of policy, program, management, human resources, facility, infrastructure, and environment, as well as monitoring and evaluation.

Moreover, a mandatory maximum score and requirement score should be met as well as the PISA implementation requirement form.

The ministry develops PISA as a child-friendly information platform to fulfill children's rights to proper information to realize a Child-Friendly Indonesia in 2030.

PISA can be developed from various forms of information service for children that already exist in regions that include the library and mobile library.
