A key component of the reform process has been the devolution of responsibility for basic education services to local governments and schools. The ability of local governments to deliver good quality basic education services varies considerably across Indonesia. Identifying the key dimensions of governance that underpin effective education service delivery can provide a starting point for addressing existing weaknesses and raising education performance. The main purpose of this report is to assess the state of local education governance in a sample of Indonesian districts and how it affects education performance. The study uses a unique survey of 50 local governments conducted in 2009 and 2012, coupled with district level information from household surveys, to identify patterns and explore trends in the relationship between governance and education outcomes. The report also explores the effects of a large donor supported program that aimed to strengthen the capacity of local governments. The findings of the Indonesian Local Education Governance (ILEG) survey demonstrate the importance of the quality of local governance in improving district education performance. Recent governments have demonstrated a commitment to education that has been backed up by substantial increases in public investment. The challenge for the education sector is to translate this commitment and increased investment into better education outcomes. The report has shown that strengthening the capacity of local governments to deliver good quality basic education services needs to be at the heart of efforts to address this challenge.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSACHIEVEMENT IN MATHEMATICSADMINISTRATIONADMINISTRATIVE OFFICESASSET MANAGEMENTASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSAUDITAUTHORITYBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC EDUCATION SERVICESBASIC SERVICESCAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITIZENSCOMMITMENT TO EDUCATIONCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCORRUPTIONCURRICULUMDECENTRALIZATIONDECENTRALIZATION REFORMSDECISION MAKERSDECISION MAKINGDECISION MAKING PROCESSDECISION MAKING PROCESSESDECISION-MAKINGDETAILED GUIDELINESDEVELOPMENT GOALSDISTRICT EDUCATIONDISTRICT PLANNINGDISTRICTSEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENTEARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATIONECONOMIC FACTORSEDUCATIONEDUCATION ACTIVITIESEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION CAPACITYEDUCATION DATAEDUCATION EXPENDITUREEDUCATION GOVERNANCEEDUCATION INDICATORSEDUCATION LAWEDUCATION MANAGEMENTEDUCATION OFFICESEDUCATION OUTCOMESEDUCATION PLANNINGEDUCATION PLANSEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION REFORMSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATION VARIABLESEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONEFFECTIVE TEACHINGEFFECTIVENESS OF EDUCATIONENROLMENT RATEEQUITABLE DISTRIBUTIONEXAMEXAM SCOREEXECUTIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL SUPPORTFINANCINGGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT BUDGETSGOVERNMENT DECISIONGOVERNMENT LEVELGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSGOVERNMENT RESOURCESGOVERNMENT SPENDINGGOVERNMENTSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERINTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERSINTERVENTIONSINVESTMENTINVESTMENT IN EDUCATIONJUNIOR SECONDARYJUNIOR SECONDARY EDUCATIONJUNIOR SECONDARY LEVELJUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLJUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLINGJUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLSKEY ROLELABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTLEARNING OUTCOMESLEAVING SCHOOLLEGISLATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF GOVERNMENTLITERACYLITERACY RATESLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL EDUCATIONLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENT CAPACITYLOCAL GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONSLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL LEVELLOCAL MANAGEMENTMAPSMINISTRY OF FINANCENATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATION STANDARDSNATIONAL EXAMINATIONSNATIONAL SCHOOLNATIONAL TEACHER CERTIFICATIONNERNET ENROLLMENTNET ENROLLMENT RATENET ENROLMENTNET ENROLMENT RATENET ENROLMENT RATESNON-FORMAL EDUCATIONNONFORMAL EDUCATIONNUMBER OF STUDENTSOVERSIGHTPARTICIPATION IN EDUCATIONPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPRE-PRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY LEVELPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL AGEPRIMARY SCHOOL AGE CHILDRENPRIMARY SCHOOL MANAGEMENTPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROVINCIAL EDUCATIONPROVISION OF TECHNICALPUBLIC EDUCATION SPENDINGPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC FINANCINGPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SPENDINGQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF EDUCATION SERVICESREADINGREADING ACHIEVEMENTREADING LITERACYRECENT PROGRESSREGIONSREGULATIONREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPONSIBILITYSCHOOLSCHOOL ACTIVITYSCHOOL COMMITTEESCHOOL COMMITTEESSCHOOL CONDITIONSCHOOL DATASCHOOL DECISIONSCHOOL DEVELOPMENTSCHOOL EDUCATIONSCHOOL GOVERNANCESCHOOL IMPROVEMENTSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL REHABILITATIONSCHOOL SUPERVISIONSCHOOL SUPERVISORSSCHOOLSSCIENCESCIENCE STUDYSENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOLSSIGNIFICANT IMPACTSKILLSSOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUSSTANDARDS OF EDUCATIONSTATESTATESSTUDENT ENROLMENTSTEACHERTEACHER CERTIFICATIONTEACHER QUALIFICATIONSTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING FORCETERTIARY EDUCATIONTRANSPARENCYUNIVERSITIESVALUESVILLAGE LEVELWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/16634
