Technical inefficiency and human capital improvement in Indonesian secondary schools across regions

Starting from January 1, 2001, the provincial governments in Indonesia suddenly faced a huge problem in managing their public finance. The management of certain sectors and their budgeting were, including education, decentralized. Government regulation No. 25 in 2001 gave the local government more freedom to establish a suitable education system for their respective regions. This paper will attempt to analyse the performance of secondary schools across regions. The production function theory will be used due to the government's intention to make the secondary school (years 7-12) the compulsory minimum level of education for the Indonesian people. The reults show that the government budget cannot significantly affect the efficiency in the secondary school industry because the inputs that are financed are not significant for inducing efficiency. Instead, external factors like population and also the existence of financial loans is likely to be significant. The policy on loans has to be reconsidered to see the cost benefit or the comparison between terurns on human capital improvement throught secondary school and the interest rate of the loan .Baca di tempat
