Pelaksana Tugas Kepala Dinas Pendidikan Provinsi Papua, Marthen Medlama, mengatakan kuota peserta program pembinaan calon siswa sekolah kedinasan tahun ini ditingkatkan dari 30 menjadi 50 orang seiring tingginya minat masyarakat.
“Semua peserta memiliki kesempatan yang sama. Tidak ada titipan ataupun intervensi,” ujar Marthen di Jakarta, Kamis (9/7/2026).
Menurutnya, seluruh proses seleksi dilaksanakan secara terbuka dan objektif agar peserta yang terpilih benar-benar memiliki kemampuan untuk bersaing di berbagai sekolah kedinasan tingkat nasional.
Selain memperluas pembinaan sekolah kedinasan, Pemerintah Provinsi Papua juga terus mematangkan Program Beasiswa Pace-Mace sebagai salah satu strategi peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia. Program tersebut saat ini masih dalam pembahasan bersama Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan, Riset, dan Inovasi Daerah (Bapperida) untuk disesuaikan dengan kemampuan fiskal daerah.
Marthen mengatakan kebutuhan anggaran Program Beasiswa Pace-Mace diperkirakan berkisar antara Rp60 miliar hingga Rp70 miliar per tahun. Pemerintah Provinsi Papua berharap program tersebut dapat segera direalisasikan guna memperluas akses pendidikan sekaligus mencetak generasi Papua yang berkualitas dan siap berkontribusi dalam pembangunan daerah. ***

Acting Head of the Papua Provincial Education Office, Marthen Medlama, said the quota for this year's preparatory program for prospective government service academy students had been increased from 30 to 50 participants due to strong public interest.
"All participants have an equal opportunity. There will be no preferential treatment or intervention," Marthen said in Jakarta on Thursday, July 9, 2026.
He explained that the entire selection process would be conducted openly and objectively to ensure that the selected participants genuinely possessed the ability to compete for admission to various government service academies at the national level.
In addition to expanding the government service academy preparatory program, the Papua Provincial Government is also continuing to finalize the Pace-Mace Scholarship Program as part of its strategy to improve the quality of human resources. The program is currently being discussed with the Regional Development Planning, Research, and Innovation Agency to ensure that it is aligned with the province's fiscal capacity.
Marthen said the annual budget required for the Pace-Mace Scholarship Program was estimated at between IDR60 billion and IDR70 billion. The Papua Provincial Government hopes the program can be implemented soon to expand access to education and develop a generation of qualified Papuans who are ready to contribute to regional development. ***
