Not all schools in Indonesia have their own libraries. Yet, Government Regulation Number 24 of 2014 mandates that every school must have a library.
Elementary schools (SD) constitute the largest number of schools in Indonesia, but also exhibit the widest disparity in library ownership. Only 66.14% of the total 148,673 schools possess a library.
The province with the lowest rate of elementary school library ownership is Papua, at 31%. Junior high schools (SMP) with the lowest number of libraries are located in North Maluku, at 58.7%. The lowest number of libraries in senior high schools (SMA) is also found in North Maluku, with 69.2% ownership. Vocational high schools (SMK) with the fewest libraries are located in West Nusa Tenggara, at only 53%.
