Abstract

This article discusses the concept of education budget allocation mandate in the Indonesian constitution, the challenges and opportunities faced in its implementation. The purpose of this research is to be used as a study in determining the concept of an education budget that can achieve the country’s goals. This research used a normative juridical approach by analyzing the laws and regulations governing education and the education budget. The findings of the analysis indicate that the education budget allocation has been enshrined in the constitution. However, the concept of the education budget remains a source of contention, with some advocating for the inclusion of the teacher salary component and others opposing it. Education expenditure excluding teacher’s salaries is still insufficient to encourage improving the quality of education. The education budget allocation mandate also still has challenges in its implementation, such as the lack of education spending other than teachers’ salaries and ineffective budget management. There is a need to evaluate the concept of education budget allocation in legal regulations and improve education budget management to improve the quality of education. In conclusion, legal regulations on education budgets must be improved to achieve the country’s education goals, and more structured implementation is needed to ensure the right to education.
