In an effort to improve the competence of field officers and ensure that the data collection process is of higher quality, BPS Kabupaten Batang organized training on the Updating of Village Development Data 2025 (PODES 2025). The training was held on Friday (23/05) by all field enumerators and field supervisors. This activity lasted for 4 days from May 20-23, 2025, consisting of Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) or self-learning, followed by interactive learning through online and face-to-face media.
Field officers were provided with material by Statistisi Ahli Muda Moch. Choeril Anwar, SST., M.Si, and Statistisi Ahli Pertama Ayu Tiara Ashar Putri, S.Tr.Stat. to ensure that the data collection results can describe the overall condition of the village, from potential to development needs.
The Updating of Village Development Data 2025 (PODES 2025) is the only complete data collection at the village level conducted by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). PODES data continues to be used and referenced by various parties as a basis for policy determination. Therefore, PODES data must be valid, accurate, and up-to-date. The data from PODES 2025 is expected to be able to describe the potential of an area at the village, sub-district, and district/city levels throughout Indonesia. Let's work together to make PODES 2025 a success so that it can become a reliable data foundation in supporting the government to develop more appropriate development programs and policies.
