ANALYSIS OF EDUCATION FUNDING ALLOCATION AND STUDENT ENROLLMENT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SMA AND SMK STUDENTS IN INDONESIA : RM MANOVA APPROACH

Abstract

The Indonesia Smart Program (PIP) is one of the government's efforts to improve access to education for underprivileged students. The purpose of this study is to examine how PIP educational aid was distributed and how successful it was in Indonesia in 2022 at the Senior High School (SMA) and Vocational High School (SMK) levels. The method used is Repeated Measures Multivariate Analysis of Variance (RM Manova) for education. The research data was obtained from the official government data portal of Indonesia (data.go.id). The results of the study do not show any significant differences in the distribution of assistance between SMA and SMK across various regions. Further research is needed to consider other factors that may have an impact.
