Education inequality is a challenge in human development in Indonesia. Providing and communicating data on school-age population projections is important to achieve equitable quality education. This article estimates the school-age population based on Indonesia’s 2020-2050 population projections from the 2020 Population Census (SP2020) and develops an open-source interactive visualization application in the form of the R library “estPUSek” to explore these dynamics in 34 provinces. The estimation used the Sprague method, which proved accurate based on testing with Long Form Population Census 2020 (LF SP2020) data. The "estPUSek" application provides visualisations in the form of heat map plots, maps, dynamic tables, and time series plots, allowing for interprovincial and intertemporal analysis. This application is designed to facilitate discussions on the future dynamics of the school-age population, which is expected to support the development of better education programs.
