Dataset on the Number of Schools, Teachers, and Students in Sulawesi, Indonesia: Kindergarten, Primary, Junior, Senior High, Vocational, and Islamic Boarding Schools with Educational Access, Quality, and Cultural Implications to Solve Challenges and S
Keywords:
Cultural integration, Education equity, Governance, Pedagogy, SDGsAbstract
This study presents a dataset on schools, teachers, and
students in Sulawesi, Indonesia, covering kindergarten,
primary, junior, senior high, and Islamic boarding schools.
Using a descriptive mixed approach that combines statistical
data, interviews, focus group discussions, observations, and
document reviews, the study examines educational access,
quality, governance, and cultural dimensions. Findings reveal
disparities in enrollment across school levels, unequal
teacher distribution between urban and rural areas, and
limited cultural integration in curricula. Some levels showed
participation gaps, while community involvement in school
management remained weak. The dataset emphasizes the
need for equitable teacher deployment, culturally
responsive pedagogy, and community-based governance to
support sustainable education reform and the achievement
of Sustainable Development Goals.
