This paper explores the potential of digital learning to promote educational justice in Indonesia, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent rise of online education. The research investigates the government’s online education policies and their effectiveness in providing equitable access to quality education across diverse regions of Indonesia. Using a combination of policy analysis, surveys, and interviews with students, teachers, and educational administrators, the study assesses the digital divide in terms of access to technology, internet connectivity, and digital literacy. The findings reveal that while online education has the potential to democratize learning, significant gaps in digital infrastructure and teacher preparedness undermine its effectiveness, especially in rural and economically disadvantaged areas. The paper argues that to achieve educational justice, digital learning policies must be accompanied by investments in technology infrastructure, targeted digital literacy programs for teachers and students, and strategies to address socio-economic inequalities that limit access to online education. The paper concludes by recommending comprehensive reforms to ensure that digital learning can be a tool for equity, rather than a source of further disparity.
