Papua still faces low levels of education attained by its working population. According to the Papua Provincial Statistics Agency (BPS), 988,400 people, or 56% of the 1.7 million working population aged 15 and over, were elementary school graduates or below in February 2021.
The next largest group of workers were high school graduates (315,700) followed by junior high school graduates (227,000). Only 34,400 were diploma graduates (Diploma I/II/III) and 131,000 were university graduates.
