Abstract

This study aims to describe the politics of the education budget of the city government of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach, focusing on purposively selected subjects from executive and legislative elements. Data were meticulously excavated through in-depth interviews and document analysis. Methodological triangulation was implemented by employing multiple methods and sources, engaging in expert discussions, and considering rival explanations. The data analysis followed systematic steps, including data management, reading and memoing, description, classification, interpretation, and visualization. The research reveals that the 2014 education budget for Yogyakarta amounted to Rp. 432,883,644,325.00. The patterns of distribution and allocation of education budgets were managed based on the coordination and integration of policies between government units. The political priorities of the 2014 education budget are determined based on considerations of aspects of urgency and emergency, with a predominant focus on employee salaries, the 12-year compulsory education programs, and initiatives for educational development. © 2024, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta State University).
