The number of students enrolled in public schools is generally larger than that of private schools. However, the number of students in public schools decreases as the education level increases. At the upper secondary level, vocational high schools (SMK) are more popular than public high schools (SMA).
Private vocational high school (SMK) students account for 56.36%. This number is also higher than that of senior high schools (SMA). At least 5 million students attended SMK in the 2018/2019 academic year. The public perceives SMK graduates as better prepared for the workforce, possessing adequate skills.
This contrasts with public senior high schools (SMA), which have a larger student capacity. At least 73.27% of senior high school students attend public schools compared to private ones.
