<![CDATA[This study examines the alignment of the education budget policy in the 2025 State Budget with the Indonesian constitution and examines it through the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh siyasah). The background of the study is based on the discrepancy between the education budget policy and the principles of justice and applicable legal provisions. The method used is qualitative research with a legislative and conceptual approach. Primary data comes from regulations and official documents, while secondary data includes books, journals, and relevant research findings. Analysis was conducted using content, descriptive, and comparative methods. The results indicate that, normatively, the education budget policy complies with the provisions of Article 31 Paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution, namely a minimum allocation of 20% of the State Budget. However, substantively, this policy does not fully align with constitutional principles. This is evident in the inequality in budget distribution, low effectiveness of fund use, and inaccurate policy priorities. The disparity between the general education budget and the civil service education budget indicates that the principle of distributive justice has not been met. From a legal perspective, this policy also fails to reflect core principles such as justice ('adalah), public interest (maslahah), deliberation (shura), and trustworthiness. The diversion of the budget to non-essential programs such as the MBG demonstrates an imbalance of priorities (tawazun al-masalih), as essential educational needs are neglected by secondary programs. Thus, although formally constitutional, this policy still requires substantial improvement.]]>
