<![CDATA[This paper critically examines the implementation of education policies aimed at improving access and equity in rural Indonesia. While national reforms have set ambitious goals for educational inclusion, rural areas continue to face significant barriers, including inadequate infrastructure, teacher shortages, and cultural impediments. Using qualitative data derived from interviews with educators, policymakers, and community leaders, this study assesses the effectiveness of current policies in addressing these challenges. The research reveals that despite the formulation of inclusive policies, their implementation at the local level remains limited due to insufficient resources and a lack of context-specific strategies. The findings indicate that, while progress has been made, further efforts are needed to ensure that educational opportunities are accessible and equitable across rural Indonesia. The paper recommends enhancing policy implementation through greater community involvement, more equitable resource distribution, and targeted support for rural educators.]]>
