Abstract

This study analyses the 2022 Human Development Index development in Central Java Province, exploring its correlation with challenges and opportunities in the education sector, particularly digital literacy. The primary goal is to assess the HDI trends and identify areas for improvement, focusing on the education sector’s influence on digital literacy. The study utilizes HDI reports and examines the components contributing to the overall score, including health, education, and per capita expenditure. Emphasis is placed on children’s average years of schooling and education expectancy. Central Java’s HDI improved by 0.87%, reaching a score of 72.79, showcasing growth in health, education, and per capita expenditure. The average years of schooling (12.81 years) signal opportunities for enhancing digital literacy, crucial for workforce competitiveness in the technological era. However, challenges persist at the senior high school level, particularly low enrolment rates. To address challenges, proposed solutions include policy evaluations, adjustments to Law No 23/2014, and the optimization of traditional arts as part of cultural education. Strategies for equitable regional development, enhancement of Information and Communication Technology infrastructure and skills, and improving local-level education quality are recommended to support human development goals and enhance human resource competitiveness in Central Java.
