Abstract


This study examines the influence of access to information and communication, healthcare facilities, and village fund allocation on educational attainment in Banyuwangi Regency, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilizes panel data from 25 subdistricts covering the period 2016–2020. The analysis applies three panel regression specifications: the Common Effect Model (CEM), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM), to investigate the relationships between the explanatory variables and educational attainment. The findings indicate that access to information and communication and the availability of healthcare facilities significantly influence educational attainment at the 5% significance level. In contrast, village fund allocation demonstrates no statistically significant relationship with the dependent variable. Although the estimated coefficients and significance levels vary across the three specifications, the FEM results confirm the statistical significance of information and communication access and healthcare facilities, while the CEM and REM produce broadly comparable findings for these variables. These results underscore the importance of strengthening information accessibility and healthcare infrastructure as components of regional development strategies aimed at improving educational outcomes. The study provides empirical insights for local policymakers seeking to formulate more effective and integrated development policies in Banyuwangi Regency.
