The predominantly urban provinces of Gauteng and Western Cape come to the fore with healthcare spending. In terms of actual rand values, KwaZulu-Natal – the second most populous province in the country after Gauteng – was the biggest spender on education, totalling R49,3 billion. Shifting back to the chart above, health was the second biggest expenditure item for provincial government in 2017/18, taking up 32% (R177 billion) of total spending.

The World Bank’s support to the Indonesian Government focuses on two key areas: In March 2017 ID-TEMAN co-hosted with the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Australian Government a two-day Learning for All conference in Jakarta where 170 national and international participants discussed improved efficiency of spending and the quality of education in Indonesia through shared practical experiences.

It aims to support Indonesia to reach its education potential by improving teaching and learning through better policy, operations and implementation. These include selecting only the highest quality candidates to become teachers, orienting school, district and province level to efficiently plan and budget to achieve national standards in education, and delivering effective programs of technical support for teachers and schools to improve student learning. The country’s Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores rose during this period, but at its current pace Indonesia will only reach average Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country scores in 60 years. A further R1.4-billion will be spent over the next three years to support early childhood development programmes and the implementation of the community-based childcare and protection programme across the country. The program supports the Government in addressing challenges to delivering better education outcomes, with a view to Indonesia achieving its medium-term development plan targets in education service delivery. Mpumalanga and North West had the lowest percentages. However, since the national budget is 15 percent of GDP, this education expenditure is only 3 percent of GDP, one of the lowest in the region. Supported with financing from the Australian Government through Local Solutions to Poverty, the project increases the availability of high-quality, affordable professional development for early childhood community teachers by: enhancing existing government teacher training programs, strengthening local capacity to deliver training at the district level, and introducing community participation in the service delivery process. Together with Limpopo, the more rural provinces of Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and Free State allocated over 40% of total spending to public education.
