Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), there were 4.21 million micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia in 2020. Of that number, the majority, or approximately 54.52%, were run by entrepreneurs with an educational background of elementary school (SD) or lower.

Meanwhile, 21.04% of MSME owners had a final education level of Senior High School (SMA). Furthermore, 20.99% of MSME entrepreneurs were Junior High School (SMP) graduates.

The percentage of MSME entrepreneurs with a Diploma IV/S1 (Bachelor's degree) education was 2.6%. Only 0.85% of MSME entrepreneurs were graduates of D1-D3 (Diploma I-III).

BPS also noted that internet usage among MSME actors in Indonesia remains very low. The percentage of MSMEs using the internet is only 16.39%.

According to BPS, the low educational level of MSME entrepreneurs is considered one of the causes of low internet usage. MSME entrepreneurs tend to be technologically illiterate.

Therefore, government guidance to improve internet utilization among MSME actors through internet-based training is greatly needed.
