Did you know? July 23rd is celebrated as National Children’s Day in Indonesia.
Children are the future generation of our nation and have the right to a prosperous life, one of which is quality education. Speaking of children and their education, BPS Batu Bara provides data on the School Participation Rate (APS) for children aged 7-18 years and the Net Enrollment Rate (APM) for elementary, middle, and high school students, as shown in the following BARISTA infographic!
**APS** indicates the proportion of school-age children attending educational levels appropriate for their age group. It serves as a basic indicator to assess access to educational facilities, especially for school-aged populations.
**APM** indicates how many school-aged children are utilizing educational facilities according to their educational level.
In 2023, the APS for children aged 7-12 was 99.11, meaning that out of 100 children aged 7-12 years in Batu Bara Regency, approximately 99-100 children are attending school, regardless of the educational level.
In 2023, the APM for elementary school children was also 99.11, meaning that out of 100 children aged 7-12 years, 99-100 children are attending elementary school.
For more detailed data, you can download the “Welfare Statistics 2023” publication on the official BPS Batu Bara Regency website through the link in the bio.
Let's support quality education for all children to ensure a bright future for our nation!
