ANALYSIS OF EDUCATION PARAMETERS IN WEST NUSA TENGGARA PROVINCE

Abstract

Education is one of the factors in improving the quality of the population.
The Human Development Index (HDI) in 2024 of West Nusa Tenggara
Province was ranked 30th out of 38 provinces in Indonesia. This makes the
education sector require special attention in the policy-making process. The
purpose of this study was to examine the parameters of APK, APM, Number
of Schools, and Student to Teacher Ratio in West Nusa Tenggara Province.
The method used in this writing is a quantitative descriptive method and
data collection was carried out through literature studies and
documentation. The Gross Participation Rate (APK) and Pure Participation
Rate (APM) show a varied distribution in each region with values indicating
the suitability of the number of students attending school with the age group
at that level of education. The number of educational facilities increases
every year, but there is also inequality at each level of education and city
district. The student-teacher ratio shows an increasingly ideal figure, but
there is inequality in each district/city in West Nusa Tenggara Province.
