Yogyakarta (MAN 2 Yogyakarta) – A profound sense of gratitude and pride filled the Broadcasting Room of MAN 2 Yogyakarta as the institution virtually attended the 2025 SAKIP and Integrity Awards ceremony hosted by Kementerian Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi (PANRB Ministry) on Wednesday (February 12, 2026). The occasion marked a historic milestone, as MAN 2 Yogyakarta was officially granted the prestigious Corruption-Free Zone (WBK) status and declared its readiness to advance toward the Clean and Serving Bureaucracy (WBBM) designation.

Under the leadership of Principal Hartiningsih, S.Pd., M.Pd., and accompanied by Head of Administration and Integrity Zone Team Chair Isti Wahyuni, S.E., M.M., as well as School Committee Chair Drs. H. Nur Abadi, M.Si., the entire Integrity Zone task force stood solemnly as the Indonesian national anthem echoed through the room. The recognition symbolized the culmination of years of consistent effort in strengthening accountable governance and delivering excellent public education services.

Carrying the theme “Transforming Accountability and Integrity Toward Indonesia Emas 2045,” the national event underscored the urgency of reinforcing integrity and performance-based governance. Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Rini Widyantini emphasized the importance of technology-driven public service transformation, while Deputy for Bureaucratic Reform Erwan Agus Purwanto highlighted the steady rise of Indonesia’s Bureaucratic Reform Index, SAKIP Index, and National Public Satisfaction Index in 2025—clear indicators of sustained national progress.

Out of 297 work units nationwide receiving WBK or WBBM recognition this year, MAN 2 Yogyakarta proudly stands among the distinguished institutions contributing to Indonesia’s reform agenda. Principal Hartiningsih stressed that the WBK achievement is not an endpoint, but the beginning of a deeper cultural transformation.

“This WBK status is a mandate,” she affirmed. “We are committed to strengthening digital governance, enhancing transparency, and ensuring that every educational service is delivered efficiently, responsively, and free from corruption. MAN 2 Yogyakarta is ready to move forward toward WBBM.”

This vision aligns with the broader reform direction championed by President Prabowo Subianto, which prioritizes responsive bureaucracy, effective budget management, inter-agency coordination, and the eradication of corruption. As Indonesia enters the 2025–2029 phase of bureaucratic reform centered on Digital Governance as the foundation of Human-Based Governance, MAN 2 Yogyakarta continues to adapt by reinforcing technology-based services and transparent administration.

The success of this achievement reflects strong collective leadership. The Integrity Zone Development Task Force, chaired by Isti Wahyuni, operates collaboratively across institutional units to ensure sustainable reform implementation. Coordinators in change management, governance structuring, human resource development, accountability strengthening, supervision, and public service quality enhancement work in synergy to embed integrity into daily practice—transforming reform from documentation into living institutional culture.

With WBK status secured, MAN 2 Yogyakarta reaffirms its identity as an educational institution that excels not only academically but also in governance and public service integrity. The journey toward WBBM now represents its next strategic commitment, ensuring that professionalism, transparency, and accountability remain the foundation of its service to the community and the nation.
