印尼宪法法院首席法官苏哈托约周四裁定，政府必须在2028年前将免费营养餐计划（MBG）的资金从教育运营预算中分离出来1。该计划旨在为8300万学童和孕妇提供免费餐食，以对抗营养不良1。
根据宪法法院的决定，2026年的免费餐食融资方式被认为符合宪法，但后续年份的这种融资模式将不符合宪法要求1。当前，政府已将769.1万亿印尼盾（折合615亿美元）教育预算的近三分之一分配给免费餐食计划1。如果排除这笔支出，教育支出将下降至约14%，远低于印尼宪法规定的最低20%要求1。
根据印尼教师协会的数据，该国至少有70万名合同制教师，其中74%的月收入不足200万印尼盾（约170美元），部分教师月收入甚至低于50万印尼盾（约43美元）1。教师组织对这一资金分离政策的实施提出担忧1。
Indonesia's Constitutional Court has ruled that the government must cease financing its free school meal program from education budget allocations, effective 2028.1 Chief Justice Suhartoyo issued the decision on Thursday, mandating that funding for the Meal for Gold (MBG) initiative be separated from education operating funds within two years.1 The program, launched in 2025, aims to provide free meals to 83 million students and pregnant women to combat malnutrition.1
The court's intervention addresses a constitutional compliance issue stemming from Indonesia's requirement that at least 20 percent of the national budget be allocated to education.1 Currently, the government allocates nearly one-third of its 769.1 trillion rupiah (approximately 61.5 billion US dollars) education budget to the free meal scheme.1 In the 2026 budget, education spending comprises 20.1 percent of total expenditure, but excluding MBG costs, this figure drops to approximately 14 percent—significantly below the constitutional threshold.1 The Constitutional Court determined that using education funds for the meal program complies with the constitution during 2026 but violates it in subsequent years.1
Teacher advocates have raised concerns about the practical feasibility of implementing the separation.1 According to Indonesia's Teacher Association, the nation employs at least 700,000 contract teachers, with 74 percent earning monthly incomes below 2 million rupiah (approximately 170 US dollars), and some receiving less than 500,000 rupiah (roughly 43 US dollars) monthly.1
