Abstract

Low and unevenly distributed digital literacy in remote areas remains a challenge in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on quality education. This study aimed to map the condition of digital literacy among teachers and students and formulate policy directions to accelerate SDG 4 in the underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) region of Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was applied, involving 120 respondents consisting of 40 teachers and 80 primary and secondary school students selected purposively, along with 10 key informants for in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically, followed by integration of both findings. The results showed an overall digital literacy mean score of 2.80 out of 5, categorized as moderate but unevenly distributed. Application-use ability achieved the highest score (3.32), while content creation (2.55) and policy support (2.32) were the lowest. Digital literacy levels decreased due to poor connectivity, limited device availability, and remote locations. The findings indicate that improving digital literacy requires integrated, area-based policies through offline-accessible resources, device support, continuous training with mentoring, and evaluation based on actual learning improvements.

Abstract

Vocational high school (SMK) graduates remain the largest contributors to unemployment in Indonesia, with the open unemployment rate reaching 7.74% nationally and 8.81% in East Kalimantan in February 2026. This condition indicates that the challenge is not only related to graduate quality but also to the limited collaboration among stakeholders connecting vocational education and the labor market. This study aims to analyze the contribution of five pentahelix actors academia, business, community, government, and media in improving graduates’ work readiness and employment absorption, as well as reflecting on vocational education policy. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach was applied involving 150 respondents from six vocational stakeholder groups in East Kalimantan, followed by interviews with ten key informants. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results show that pentahelix collaboration is at a moderate level, with media involvement and employment absorption as the weakest aspects. The five actors explain 63.2% of employment outcomes, with business/industry as the strongest determinant. The findings highlight that vocational collaboration requires outcome-based governance focused on employment absorption rather than merely the implementation of activities.
