Village heads play a crucial role as planners, policymakers, and decision-makers in the development process. Therefore, the selection of village heads must consider their background and capacity, including their educational level.
The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) recorded that 57.84% of village heads in Indonesia have a high school education background. 21.84% of village heads are university graduates (S1). Meanwhile, only 1.54% of village heads have a postgraduate education (S2/S3).
Furthermore, 18.78% of village heads in Indonesia have an educational level below high school. According to BPS, this condition is related to the limited availability of highly educated human resources in those villages.
