Abstract
Education is a fundamental human right, enshrined in Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights in Indonesia. Article 12 of this law emphasizes the right of every individual to personal development, education, self-improvement, and a better quality of life. Despite these legal provisions, the full realization of this right faces challenges in Indonesia, particularly in bridging the education quality gap between urban and rural areas, with a particular focus on the 3T regions (outermost, lagging, frontier).
This paper delves into the issue of education inequality and quality disparity in Indonesia, shedding light on the persistent gap between urban and rural education, which hampers the comprehensive implementation of the nine-year compulsory education program. The introduction of the nine-year compulsory education program aimed to ensure equitable access to education and enhance its overall quality. However, this goal remains unfulfilled, primarily due to geographical disparities, especially in remote border areas.
One critical initiative by the Indonesian government to address this challenge is the establishment of integrated schools, which offer both elementary and junior high school education within the same educational facility. This innovative approach seeks to minimize the barriers to education caused by the remote locations of schools in 3T regions. By consolidating educational services in a single accessible location, integrated schools aim to facilitate increased attendance and participation among students, ultimately striving to bridge the education gap between urban and rural areas.
This research explores the concept and implementation of integrated schools in Indonesia, examining their effectiveness in improving access to quality education and narrowing the educational divide. By analyzing the experiences and outcomes of integrated schools in 3T regions, this study seeks to provide insights into the broader implications for education policy and equity in the country
