Analysis of Education Financing Strategies To Improve Accessibility in Higher Education
Keywords:
Financing Strategy, Education Financing, Accessibility of Higher EducationAbstract
This study analyzes education financing strategies to improve accessibility in Indonesian higher education. Equitable access to higher education is essential to support the nation's progress and reduce socio-economic disparities between regions. However, the high cost of education, the economic limitations of the community, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic have become major barriers for low-income groups to continue their studies at the tertiary level. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method to identify and evaluate various financing strategies, such as scholarships, tuition assistance, student loans, subsidies, partnerships with the industrial sector, as well as community-based and philanthropic funding innovations. The results of the analysis show that a combination of various financing strategies from the government, private sector and the community is more effective in expanding access to higher education in an inclusive and sustainable manner. This study recommends the need for cross-sector collaboration, increased financial literacy, and strengthened regulation and transparency in the distribution of education funds to ensure that every individual has a fair opportunity to receive higher education and improve the quality of national human resources.
