6.4 Analysis of Expenditure on the 9 Years of Obligatory Education Program

Increases in local government expenditure per pupil on the 9 Years of Obligatory Education Program had no effect on net school participation rates termed APM in Indonesia. Indeed, there was a tendency —albeit statistically insignificant—for regions allocating large amounts per pupil to the 9 Years of Obligatory Education Program to have a low APM in their junior secondary schools SMPNs. Several regions studied in Aceh and East Java —Bondowoso, Simeulue and Probolinggo were exceptions—that allocated less than Rp 1 millionpupil to of the 9 Years of Obligatory Education Program had relatively high SMPN AMPs 70 or more. At the same time, three kabupatens in West Kalimantan — Bengkayang, Sekadau and Melawi —that allocated large amounts to the program more than Rp 1.2 millionpupil, only had SMPN APMs of between 55 and 60.

Nor did high levels of support for the 9 Years of Obligatory Education Program have the effect of lowering the ratio between pupils and classroom space. According to data for 2010, Kinerja regions studied had an average ratio of 32classroom primary schools SDNs and 34classroom junior secondary schools SMPNs. Of the regions with high pupilclassroom ratios —namely, Barru in both its SDNs and SMPNs; Luwu Utara, Aceh Singkil and the city of Makassar in SDNs specifically ; and Tulungagung and the city of Singkawang in their SMPNs —Barru contributed significantly topping Rp 1.3 millionpupilyear to the 9 Years of Obligatory Education Program; while Aceh Singkil was one of the smallest contributions just Rp 0.4 millionpupilyear.
