Abstract

This paper critically reviews the intersection of educational reform and anti-corruption efforts in Indonesia’s education sector. Corruption has long been a significant barrier to the effective delivery of education in the country, undermining efforts to improve quality and equity. The study analyzes recent policy initiatives aimed at combating corruption within the education system, focusing on the mechanisms used to promote transparency, accountability, and resource efficiency. Through a review of government documents, policy reports, and interviews with stakeholders, the research assesses the impact of these initiatives on educational outcomes. Findings reveal that while some reforms have led to improvements in transparency, corruption remains a pervasive issue, particularly in the management of school funds and teacher appointments. The paper concludes by proposing further reforms, including stronger regulatory oversight, improved auditing processes, and enhanced civic engagement, to ensure that anti-corruption efforts lead to meaningful change in educational equity and quality.
