According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of out-of-school children (ATS) in Indonesia across all age groups decreased in March 2025 compared to March 2024.

BPS explains that ATS refers to the percentage of the population within a specific education level age range who are not currently attending school.

Individuals attending preschool are considered to be in school. Individuals aged 16-18 who are no longer attending school but have a high school/vocational high school diploma or higher are also considered to be in school.

The age used in calculating this indicator is the age at the beginning of the academic year.

By age group, the largest decrease in ATS occurred in the 16-18 year old group, by up to 3.82%. Nevertheless, this figure is still considered high when compared to other age groups. Meanwhile, the ATS for the 7-12 year old group was the lowest compared to the 13-15 year old group and the 16-18 year old group.

Furthermore, in March 2025, the ATS in each age group did not show significant differences when examined by gender, household economic status, and region.

However, these three age groups showed significant disparities when looking at ATS based on disability status, as shown in the following data:

OOSC 7-12 years old

Non-disabled: 0.43%
Disabled: 15.71%

OOSC 13-15 years old

Non-disabled: 5.40%
Disabled: 57.28%

OOSC 16-18 years old

Non-disabled: 15.02%
Disabled: 56.80%
