A few years after the independence of the country, the Indonesian government identified a great need for teaching staff for all levels and types of school. This had led the government to issuing the Peraturan Pemerintah (PP) or Government Regulations No. 41/1950 that underlined the establishment of BI, BII and PGSLP courses that were meant to prepare secondary school teachers. Later in 1958, under PP No. 51/1958, the Faculty of Psychology of  the University of Indonesia or UI was integrated into Perguruan Tinggi Pendidikan Guru (PTPG) or Higher Education Institution for Teachers. In 1961, the Minister of Education launched his decrees no. 6 and 7 of 8 February 1961 based on which the BI and BII courses were integrated into the Faculty of Educational Science (FKIP) of University of Indonesia (UI).

By then, a dualism could be observed regarding the government practices for preparing school teachers with the existence of the Institute of Teacher Training, called IPG, and the FKIP. Such condition reflected the different perspective that the Department of Education and Culture and Department of Higher Education and Sciences or PTIP. To overcome the problem, the Presidential Decree or KEPPRES No. 274/1965 of 14 September 1965 was issued. It announces the establishment of IKIP Jakarta, i.e. the Institute for Teacher Training and Educational Sciences, with its five faculties; namely, the Faculty of Education, Faculty of Exact Sciences Education, Faculty of Social Studies Education, Faculty of Literature and Arts Education, and Faculty of Engineering/Vocational Studies. In fact, the new institution was officially established on May 1963. On August 1999, the institution was assigned a wider scope of responsibilities and authority based on KEPPRES No. 93. It authorized the institution to offer non education study programs to the existing education ones that it originally assigned for. Based on the regulation, IKIP Jakarta was changed legally into Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ) – State University of Jakarta. However, UNJ is determined to always maintain its highest commitment in teacher training and education, despite the conversion.

UNJ has several campuses in eastern and southern part of Jakarta. The main campus (Campus A) is located on Jalan Daksinapati Rawamangun (land certificate shown at Annex - 1), East Jakarta, while Campus B is located on Jalan Pemuda Rawamangun, East Jakarta. Three other campuses are located in Southern part of Jakarta; i.e. on Jalan Halimun, Jalan K.H. Ahmad Dahlan and Jalan Setiabudi. Detail existing building at the all campuses presented at annex – 2.
