BPS Jawa Tengah Holds Training for Regional Instructors on Household Consumption Pattern Survey Data Processing

Semarang, jateng.bps.go.id – BPS Jawa Tengah Province held the Opening of the Regional Instructor (Inda) Training on Processing the VPKRT27-BL Questionnaire for the 2027 Household Consumption Pattern Survey (SPKRT) online on Wednesday (November 11, 2026). The training is part of efforts to prepare competent instructors to ensure the quality of SPKRT 2027 data processing.

The training was opened by the Head of BPS Jawa Tengah Province, Ali Said. In his remarks, he emphasized the important role of Regional Instructors as the front line in maintaining data quality. The instructors are expected to master the materials comprehensively, be able to transfer their knowledge to officers in their respective work units, and ensure that the data processing process is carried out in accordance with the applicable guidelines.

Ali Said also stressed that accuracy in data processing is crucial. Inaccurate recording or processing may affect the inflation weighting structure. Therefore, every piece of data must be processed carefully and its quality monitored from the outset.

Earlier, Head of the Information Systems and Dissemination Team, Sumbodo Aji Cahyono, as the Head of the Organizing Committee, delivered a report on the implementation of the training. He explained that the training represents a collaborative effort between the Training Center, Directorate of Price Statistics, and Directorate of Statistical Information Systems in preparing prospective Regional Instructors for SPKRT 2027 data processing.

In Jawa Tengah, the training was attended by 41 prospective Regional Instructors from 35 BPS Regencies/Municipalities, who were grouped into a single class. The training was conducted simultaneously with all BPS Provincial Offices across Indonesia through the E-WARKOP and GOJAGS LMS platforms.

The learning process was conducted in two stages. The first stage consisted of self-paced learning or a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on November 9–10, 2026. The second stage was conducted through interactive Distance Learning (PJJ) on November 11, 2026. Through this method, participants not only studied the materials independently but also deepened their understanding through discussions, material reviews, and clarification sessions with instructors.

In this training, Ekta Surya Fiqriani, Junior Computer Specialist on the Information Systems and Dissemination Team of BPS Jawa Tengah Province, served as a National Instructor (INNAS) who trained the Regional Instructors. She facilitated the learning process, provided explanations and in-depth discussions of the materials, and helped align participants' understanding of the procedures and workflow for processing the VPKRT27-BL Questionnaire.

SPKRT 2027 is a household expenditure survey previously known as the Cost-of-Living Survey (SBH). The survey aims to obtain the commodity basket and Consumer Price Index (CPI) Weighting Diagram, while also supporting the change of the CPI base year to 2027=100.

Through this training, BPS Jawa Tengah Province hopes that the prospective Regional Instructors will develop comprehensive and standardized knowledge, enabling them to transfer their knowledge to officers in their respective areas. With accurate, timely, and high-quality data processing, SPKRT 2027 is expected to produce increasingly reliable data as a basis for compiling inflation indicators.
