Approximately 1.63 million students graduated from Vocational High Schools (SMK) in Indonesia during the 2020/2021 academic year. This comprised 702,517 graduates from public schools and 929,755 from private schools. This figure represents a continued increase from the previous two academic years.
In 2018/2019, SMK graduates totaled 1.47 million, with 629,873 from public schools and 842,130 from private schools. This number then rose to 1.58 million in 2019/2020, consisting of 717,286 graduates from public schools and 867,572 from private schools.
The increase in the number of graduates indicates a growing popularity of SMK among the public. This is because these schools offer good job prospects, a diverse range of majors, and relatively low tuition fees.
