Indicators of People's Welfare: Education (Book II)

The government, under SBY-Boediono, set a target to reduce Indonesia's poverty rate to between 8 and 10 percent by the end of 2014. To achieve this goal, the government implemented poverty alleviation efforts in three clusters. The first cluster centres on family-based poverty alleviation programmes, such as health and educational assistance, as well as the Family Hope Programme (Program Keluarga Harapan, or PKH). The second cluster consists of community empowerment-based poverty alleviation programmes, such as PNPM Mandiri. The third cluster consists of poverty alleviation programmes targeting small and micro enterprises.

"Indicators of People's Welfare - Book 2: Education" describes in detail the indicators relating to the conditions among the various levels of education, as well as education as a measure of wellbeing per each district. It describes the conditions in each district with regard to the welfare state, especially in education. Hopefully, this book will be used for improving welfare and accelerating poverty reduction.
