"Whatever the situation, the government must fulfill its obligation to finance basic education for all citizens. At a minimum, prioritize basic education from 20 percent of the education budget," said Guntur."

"We need to know how much budget is required for basic education, regardless of whether it is a public or private institution. What is the need?," he added. If there is any excess funding after basic education is met, then that funding can be used to finance other educational needs such as Senior High School (SMA) up to higher education, including vocational schools."
