Education in Indonesia

DATASource-led profile

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.

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.

Key evidence

BPS's 2025 publication combines household-survey indicators with administrative school-registration information from 2024/25.

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.
