Minister of Education No. 70 of 2009 on Inclusive Education, Komnas HAM observed
that the regulation has not been implemented optimally due to the lack of technical
guidelines at the national and regional levels that can be used as a source of reference for
inclusive education standards. The commission noted the great disproportion in the
number of students with disabilities compared to non-disabled students.22
