Schools in Indonesia

In Indonesia, primary schools or SD ( id, Sekolah Dasar - "Elementary School") are from 1st to 6th grade, while high schools (secondary school) generally comprises junior secondary school (7th-9th grade) or SMP ( id, Sekolah Menengah Pertama - "First Middle-grade School"), senior secondary school (10-12th grade) or SMA ( id, Sekolah Menengah Atas - "Upper Middle-grade School") or SMU ( id, Sekolah Menengah Umum - "General Middle-grade School") and SMK ( id, Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan - "Middle-grade Vocational School '), with virtually all public school operated this way. Private school may combine them, even though the students still wear different uniforms.

Public school (SMPN, SMAN/SMUN and SMKN, with 'N' being ''Negeri'' or "State") employs standardized uniform outfit: red skirts and short trousers for primary schoolers, navy blue skirts and short trousers for junior secondary schoolers, and grey long skirts and long trousers for senior secondary schoolers and vocational school and some vocational schoolers adding different uniform outfit . Every students wear white shirt on top. Private school may choose different outfit for their students, but generally all shools employ uniforms, sometimes several sets of them, including Pramuka (boyscout) uniform, batik uniform, etc. Public schools often, but not always, employs number in their names, corresponding to the order of their formation, e.g. SD/SMP/SMA Negeri 1/2/3 etc. followed by city/regency names, and usually don't carry personal names.

Before 2015, mandatory school in Indonesia is 9 years, from 1st to 9th grade, therefore the senior secondary school was not mandatory. Since 2015, however, the mandatory school are extended throughout 12 grades. Tertiary schools (or id, Sekolah tinggi - "High School") are college and university level.

Schools in Indonesia are under the care of Ministry of Education and Culture, and for some period (2014-2019), the universities ("high" school or ''sekolah tinggi'') are moved under the Ministry of Research and Technology. The religious schools are under the responsibility of Ministry of Religion.

Religiously organized schools include Muslim, Christian, and Catholic private schools. Muslim schools uses Arabic terms in their names, like: ''Madrasah Ibtidaiyah'' (MI) = SD, ''Madrasah Tsanawiyah'' (MTs) = SMP, and ''Madrasah Aliyah'' (MA) = SMA. Christian schools uses abbreviation SDK, SMPK, SMAK/SMUK, or spelled them out ''SD Kristen, SMP Kristen'', or ''SMA Kristen'' in their names. Catholic schools uses Saints (''Santo'') and Saintesses' (''Santa'') names in their school names, or uses ''Kolese'' (college) in their names. Secular schools didn't use any of the above, and choose secular names. Vocational schools (mainly for senior secondary school) are called SMK ( id, Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan - "Vocational Middle-grade School"). Foreign-operated schools may uses English, romanized Arabic, or Chinese ( pinyin) names.
