Abstract


The research aims to analyze the inequality of access and quality of education in Bandar Lampung through the perspective of Social Sciences (IPS) and formulate an inclusive education policy model based on socio-economic and geographical analysis.  The research study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with policy makers (Education Office), teachers, parents, and affected communities, as well as analysis of related policy documents. Data analysis techniques are carried out thematically to identify patterns of inequality and evaluate policies.

The findings of the study show that education inequality in Bandar Lampung is influenced by economic factors (poverty), geographical (accessibility of remote areas), and policies that have not been integrated with local needs. Based on social studies analysis, this study proposes a policy model that emphasizes on: (1) budget affirmation for disadvantaged areas, (2) multi-stakeholder collaboration (government, schools, communities), and (3) the use of socio-economic data in education planning
