The Constitutional Court of Indonesia (MK), led by Chief Justice Suhartoyo, has partially granted a judicial review petition concerning Law Number 17 of 2025 regarding the state education budget.
In its ruling, the Constitutional Court ordered both the government and the House of Representatives (DPR RI) to separate and remove the budget for the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program from the national education budget allocations.
The decision follows the court's review of twenty material test petitions, resulting in the mandate to decouple the MBG program funding from educational expenditures.
