Supply Predicts Finishing Better than It Predicts Starting: School Provision and Educational Outcomes
Where upper secondary schools are scarce relative to primary schools, fewer young people finish upper secondary — and the association is considerably firmer than the association between the same supply measure and whether they are enrolled. Using Central Statistics Agency figures for 2025 and 2023 across the Indonesian provinces, this article relates the ratio of villages with a primary school to villages with an…
Four Villages with a Primary School for Every Secondary One: Indonesian Educational Supply Geography
Indonesia has 72,490 villages with a primary school and 18,477 with an upper secondary school, a ratio of 3.92 to one, and the ratio varies across provinces from 1.21 in DKI Jakarta to 14.32 in Papua Selatan. Using Central Statistics Agency figures for 2025 covering all thirty-eight provinces and five educational levels, this article shows that the spatial concentration of provision rises monotonically with level of…
Thirty-One Points Between Primary and Upper Secondary: The Shape of the Indonesian Completion Gap
Indonesian provinces lose an average of 30.93 percentage points of their cohort between primary and upper secondary completion, and the loss ranges from 9.26 points in DI Yogyakarta to 49.95 in Nusa Tenggara Timur. Using Central Statistics Agency completion rates for 2023 across the thirty-four provinces with data, this article shows that dispersion between provinces widens sharply with level while the level itself…
Two Provinces of Thirty-Eight: When a Correlation Is an Artefact of Its Outliers
A correlation of 0.4893 between provincial primary and tertiary-age school participation in Indonesia falls to 0.0178 when two of the thirty-eight provinces are removed. This article uses that case to show how a cheap and rarely reported diagnostic identifies such failures. Using Central Statistics Agency figures for 2025 and 2023 covering all thirty-eight provinces, it computes both Pearson and Spearman…
Equal at Seven, Unequal at Nineteen: How Provincial Dispersion in School Participation Widens with Age
Indonesian provinces differ hardly at all in how many of their seven-to-twelve-year-olds attend school and enormously in how many of their nineteen-to-twenty-three-year-olds do. Using Central Statistics Agency school participation rates for 2025 across all thirty-eight provinces and four age groups, this article shows that dispersion widens monotonically with age on every measure. The coefficient of variation rises…
