The National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) results from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) show that the percentage of students aged 5-24 years and older who had accessed the internet in the last three months reached 77.46% in March 2023.

BPS stated that even though students have returned to in-person learning, this percentage still increased slightly by 0.7% year-on-year (yoy).

"This figure shows that the internet is one of the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tools needed by students," wrote BPS in its report.

According to the purpose of use, accessing entertainment content was the most chosen by students, with a percentage of 86.65%. The next most common purpose was social media at 66.68%, followed by searching for information or news at 61.39%.

Meanwhile, only 27.46% of students used the internet for online learning. BPS explained that this low percentage is because almost 100% of learning in Indonesia this year has been conducted in person.

Other purposes for accessing the internet include obtaining information on goods/services (14.67%), followed by purchasing goods/services (13.70%), and sending or receiving emails (10.87%).

There were also students who used the internet for creating digital content, financial needs, work from home (WFH), selling goods/services, and other purposes with percentages less than 10%.

This survey also found that 83.41% of students used cell phones to access the internet and 19.27% used computers.
