It is supported by the fact that, recently, Indonesia has raised education spending an attention to achieve welfare, especially for the poor people. Thus, education becomes equal towards the poor people. It is an unfortunate fact that the raising education spending has no longer brought an expected implementation for the poor, particularly in developed region. Cap formula of spending proves that an increase of 3.8% per year for developing region and 8% per year for developed region will is expected to be equitable for the poor people.
