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.
