The Rights Education Index (RTEI) is a new global index designed to drive accountability and progress towards realizing the right to education. RTEI works with civil society, research institution and governments to collect data on a wide variety of indicators of the rights to education as well as obstacles to it. RTEI monitors progress, identifies trends, and supports efforts towards the rights to education.

In partnership with in-country civil society coalitions and organizations, the project develops and administers a questionnaire to biennially track progress on key national-level right to education indicators in the areas of Governance and the 4 As (Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability, and Adaptability) as well as a number of subthemes and issue areas.

RTEI in Indonesia was carried out by Network for Education Watch (NEW) Indonesia with support by RESULTS Education Fund. NEW Indonesia completed the RTEI questionnaire, which was validated by two independent peer reviewers and made available for government. This country brief was developed in consultation with members of the network and education experts.

Indonesia’s overall Right to Education Index score is 72%, lower than RTEI’s score in 2018 (86%). The scores for each theme are governance 79%, availability 69%, accessibility 61%, acceptability 49%, and adaptability 62%. In addition, there are subthemes that indicate the low commitment of Indonesian government to the right to education, such as girls 24%, learning environment 25%, and free education 48%.
