Abstract

This study presents a juridical analysis evaluating the relevance and adaptability of Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System (UU Sisdiknas) in addressing the legal and operational challenges of modern digital education. Utilizing a normative legal research methodology with statutory and conceptual approaches, this paper examines primary legal instruments alongside secondary scholarly literature on digital pedagogy, artificial intelligence integration, and data privacy in educational contexts. The findings indicate that while Law Number 20 of 2003 provides strong foundational principles regarding educational access, rights, and moral objectives, its statutory framework exhibits significant normative gaps regarding digital infrastructure, distance learning standards, cyber protection for learners, and algorithmic governance in teaching environments. Concretely, the current legislation lacks explicit mechanisms to guarantee equitable digital access or regulate data privacy rights within ed-tech platforms. Consequently, this study highlights the urgent necessity for statutory reform or comprehensive legislative revisions to establish legal certainty, ensure equitable digital education, and align national educational policies with rapidly evolving technological realities.
