National publication combining March 2025 survey indicators with 2024/25 administrative school data.
Education in Indonesia
Source-led profile 路 Reference scope retained
Indonesia's current education evidence combines the 2022 country-verified UIS system mapping with the national Statistics of Education 2025 publication, which includes 2024/25 administrative school data and March 2025 survey indicators. The 2025 BPS publication and the 2022 UIS system mapping are kept as separate evidence types. The evidence below is limited to claims directly supported by the listed national and intergovernmental sources.
Indonesia education snapshot
Indonesia's page separates current statistical publication timing from the structural mapping because they come from different source systems.
* Reference years and benchmark labels are shown with the figures.
How the education pathway works
The stage labels retain widely used Indonesian abbreviations and follow the country mapping rather than replacing them with a generic secondary-school block.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| SD or MI | Primary | Primary education is the first main formal school stage. |
| SMP or MTs | Junior secondary | Junior-secondary education follows primary school. |
| SMA or MA | Upper secondary | General upper-secondary routes follow junior secondary. |
| SMK or MAK | Vocational upper secondary | Vocational upper-secondary study operates alongside general routes. |
Key evidence
BPS's 2025 publication combines household-survey indicators with administrative school-registration information from 2024/25.
| Indicator or rule | Value | Reference | Authority |
|---|---|---|---|
| System mapping | ISCED 2011 | 2022 | Country mapping reference |
| Administrative school data | 2024/25 | BPS publication | Schools, classrooms and teachers |
| Household education indicators | March 2025 | BPS publication | National Socio-Economic Survey |
| Publication revision | 8 May 2026 | Current edition | Statistics of Education 2025 |
* Reference years and benchmark labels are shown with the figures.
Reading the Indonesia evidence
That means a value drawn from the survey and a value drawn from school administration can have different definitions even when they appear in the same publication.
The page therefore uses reference-period cards instead of manufacturing four unrelated headline statistics from mixed data sources.
