Since its inception over a year ago, thousands of<br \/>\nIFP units have already been deployed, and the program is set to continue.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement made during the 2025 National Education Day (Hardiknas), Minister Abdul<br \/>\nMu\u2019ti announced a Rp 2 trillion budget allocated for procuring smart boards, educational<br \/>\nTVs, and teacher training. The initiative aims to benefit 15,000 schools this year alone,<br \/>\nrepresenting a strategic move to support the government&#8217;s vision of \u201csmart classrooms\u201d in<br \/>\nthe digital age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But One Question Remains: Where\u2019s the Educational Content?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many of the IFP units currently on the market were originally designed for corporate or office<br \/>\nuse\u2014not for K-12 classrooms. As a result, these panels often come with little or no<br \/>\neducational content, sometimes featuring only generic demo software that offers minimal<br \/>\ninstructional value.<\/p>\n<p>Educators and local education authorities have voiced growing concerns: without relevant<br \/>\nlearning content, IFPs become nothing more than expensive digital whiteboards. It&#8217;s a<br \/>\nmissed opportunity\u2014and a costly one at that.<\/p>\n<p>Is it not wasteful to invest such a large public budget in high-tech devices that fail to directly<br \/>\nbenefit teachers and students in the classroom?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-201 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Make-it-Perfect-with-Education-Software-for-IFP-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Make it Perfect with Education Software for IFP\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Make-it-Perfect-with-Education-Software-for-IFP-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Make-it-Perfect-with-Education-Software-for-IFP-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Make-it-Perfect-with-Education-Software-for-IFP-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Make-it-Perfect-with-Education-Software-for-IFP-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Make-it-Perfect-with-Education-Software-for-IFP-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Solution: Bundle IFPs with Purpose-Built Educational Applications<br \/>\nTo ensure IFPs deliver real educational impact, each device must be bundled with a<br \/>\ncomprehensive digital learning platform\u2014like Kipin.<br \/>\nKipin (Kios Pintar) is a proven education solution already in use across thousands of<br \/>\nIndonesian schools. It offers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5,000+ official school textbooks (from primary to senior high school)<\/li>\n<li>2,000+ curriculum-aligned educational videos<\/li>\n<li>50,000+ practice questions and auto-graded tryouts<\/li>\n<li>1,000+ literacy comics and student activity books<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kipin works online or offline, making it especially valuable in areas with limited internet<br \/>\naccess. It\u2019s also compatible with any IFP brand or operating system, ensuring seamless<br \/>\nintegration with devices already in use.<\/p>\n<p>By combining Kipin with IFPs, schools gain a complete, ready-to-use solution that<br \/>\nempowers teachers and engages students.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Call to Action: Content Must Be a Requirement, Not an Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to establish a standardized checklist for evaluating whether an IFP qualifies as an<br \/>\neffective educational tool\u2014not just a digital device. A simple demo should not be considered<br \/>\nsufficient. Every IFP unit should be required to include:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Rich educational content<br \/>\n\u25cf Interactive, curriculum-aligned learning resources<br \/>\n\u25cf Offline usability features<br \/>\n\u25cf Easy-to-use teacher tools<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-203 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IFP-Become-More-Powerful-with-Kipin-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"IFP Become More Powerful with Kipin\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IFP-Become-More-Powerful-with-Kipin-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IFP-Become-More-Powerful-with-Kipin-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IFP-Become-More-Powerful-with-Kipin-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IFP-Become-More-Powerful-with-Kipin-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kipin.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IFP-Become-More-Powerful-with-Kipin-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We urge the Kemendikdasmen, Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), and national<br \/>\nprocurement authorities (LPSE) to introduce regulations that mandate educational<br \/>\ncontent inclusion in every IFP procurement. This ensures that every public rupiah spent<br \/>\ncontributes directly to student learning outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: Technology is a Tool, Not the Goal<\/p>\n<p>An IFP is just hardware\u2014it is not a complete solution. Without meaningful educational<br \/>\ncontent, it remains a blank screen.<\/p>\n<p>To make Indonesia\u2019s \u201csmart classroom\u201d program truly impactful, let\u2019s combine hardware<br \/>\nwith powerful educational software like Kipin. Let\u2019s ensure these digital investments lead<br \/>\nnot just to modernization\u2014but to measurable improvements in learning quality.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t let digital boards become expensive classroom ornaments.
