- A Small

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reveals an inequality in educational attainment among economic groups in Indonesia. As economic status increases, so does the average years of schooling.
In its 2018 Education Statistics report, BPS categorized economic groups based on quintiles. Quintile I, or the poorest group, only completed an average of 6.6 years of schooling, equivalent to completing primary school and the first year of junior high school. Meanwhile, the wealthiest group, quintile V, achieved an average of 11 years of schooling, equivalent to completing senior high school.
Inequality also exists between people with and without disabilities. Individuals with disabilities completed an average of only 4.59 years of schooling, equivalent to approximately 5 years of primary school. Those without disabilities achieved an average of 8.72 years, equivalent to 8th or 9th grade of junior high school.
