Basic data on education (Dapodik) is the main data source for education in Indonesia. Dapodik is not only used as basic data for the distribution of BOS funds, but also as data for providing teacher professional allowances, and can be used as a basis for planning other educational programs.

Dapodik will reflect the state of the school, starting from the status of students, portraits of each educational unit, the number of students, displaying data on the number of groups meeting the standards or not, and how the data on infrastructure in the education unit will all be photographed in the dapodik.

Dapodik is one of the systems that has been provided by the government to become a data base in education units, in particular providing information to policy makers to obtain data information.

This book contains an introduction and technical guide to the Dapodik application version 2023, starting from preparation, installation process, input process per data entity, validation, synchronization, to verification.

The application aims to provide convenience to data collection officers and school residents who want to independently implement the Dapodik application version 2023 in schools. Through this application, it is hoped that matters related to the implementation of the Dapodik Application version 2023 can be understood and interpreted easily.

The preparation of this guide is a strategic effort to provide convenience in providing comprehensive information to data collection officers regarding the use of the Dapodik Application version 2023 in the form of a guide.

The Dapodik Application Guide version 2023 was created to equalize perception and understanding and provide clear input guidelines in updates contained in the application.
