Abstract

Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) are a crucial instrument in local democracy to produce regional leaders with integrity and capacity. However, in practice, Pilkada in Indonesia is still plagued by various problems, such as high political costs, rampant money politics, and weak recruitment mechanisms for regional head candidates, which result in low integrity and increased risks of corruption. This study aims to analyze the implementation of competency testing mechanisms as an instrument to strengthen the integrity of regional head candidates and to formulate an ideal model for strengthening integrity within the framework of the Indonesian constitutional system. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach, through an analysis of related regulations and relevant legal literature. The results show that a structured, objective, and accountable competency testing mechanism can be a strategic instrument in assessing aspects of integrity, leadership capacity, national insight, managerial ability, and commitment to eradicating corruption. The proposed ideal model is based on the principles of the rule of law, democracy, and good governance, and is supported by strong regulations, the involvement of independent institutions, transparency, and public participation. Thus, the implementation of this mechanism is expected to improve the quality of local democracy and produce regional heads who are professional, have integrity, and are oriented towards the interests of the community.

Abstract

This study examines the constitutional challenges of ensuring equitable access to education within the framework of educational democracy in Indonesia’s digital era. Despite constitutional guarantees under Article 31 of the 1945 Constitution, significant disparities persist in access to digital education, particularly between urban and rural areas. This raises critical questions: (1) to what extent does the digital transformation of education align with the principles of educational democracy; and (2) how effectively does the state fulfill its constitutional obligation to ensure equitable access to education in the digital context? This research employs a normative juridical method with a socio-constitutional approach, analyzing legal frameworks, policy developments, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings reveal that while digitalization has expanded educational opportunities, it has also reproduced structural inequalities due to unequal infrastructure, digital literacy gaps, and socio-economic disparities. The state’s role remains pivotal but insufficiently optimized, as existing policies tend to emphasize technological expansion rather than substantive equality. Consequently, educational democracy in Indonesia faces a paradox between formal constitutional guarantees and unequal practical outcomes. This study contributes to the academic discourse by offering a critical constitutional perspective on digital education, emphasizing the need to shift from formal equality to substantive justice. It proposes a reconceptualization of educational democracy that integrates digital inclusion as a constitutional mandate, thereby providing a framework for more equitable and responsive education policies in Indonesia’s evolving digital landscape.
