Education is a crucial factor in advancing a nation. Good education produces a good generation of future leaders. Indonesia is a country with a relatively high birth rate. The hope is that these future generations will receive a quality education.
To support quality education, the government allocates 20% of the national budget (APBN) to education. Similarly, local governments allocate funds for education in their respective regions. The allocation of funds for education varies from one region to another. The following are 10 districts that prioritize education.
Education is a top priority for human development in East Lampung Regency. This regency in Lampung Province allocated Rp 766.9 billion for its education budget, approximately 74.3% of East Lampung's total regional budget (APBD) of Rp 1.03 trillion.
