How Bali’s education system is measured: participation, schools and data
Bali’s education system is tracked through participation, school facilities and administrative data. Official 2025 and 2026 records show what each measure counts—and why the figures cannot be treated as one total.

Bali’s education system is measured through several layers: participation in secondary education, the number and condition of schools, and the local administrative data used to plan services. For 2025, Bali’s official report records 93.82% participation among children aged 16-18, while national education authorities reported 401 schools selected for revitalisation in 2026.
How many Bali teenagers attend secondary education?
The Bali provincial government’s 2025 performance report records 191,875 children aged 16-18 in the indicator and a secondary-education participation rate of 93.82%, based on data from the Bali Education, Youth and Sports Office, according to the 2025 provincial accountability report.
The measure counts children aged 16-18 who are studying in secondary-education institutions. It is therefore a participation indicator, not a claim that every student completes school or attends the same type of institution.
How is the condition of schools being addressed?
The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education said 188 schools in Bali were included in revitalisation work in 2025 and that 401 schools overall were included in the 2026 programme, according to its statement dated October 2, 2026.
The ministry’s account included schools with damaged classrooms and schools affected by flooding. Those examples show why school counts alone do not describe the condition or usability of education facilities.
What data does Bali use to organise education?
Bali’s Satu Data platform publishes district and municipality-level education records, including the number of public and private kindergartens, pupils and teachers, according to the provincial data portal.
The same platform also organises administrative information on Bali’s nine regencies and municipalities, including subdistricts, villages and customary administrative units. That structure allows education figures to be read alongside the areas responsible for delivering public services.
What do these numbers show?
The figures describe different parts of the system and should not be combined into one score. The 93.82% figure measures participation among 16-18-year-olds, the 191,875 figure is the population counted in that indicator, and the school figures concern a separate infrastructure-revitalisation programme.
For readers trying to understand how Bali works, the practical distinction is between access, facilities and administration: each is measured by a different institution and serves a different planning purpose.
