The population of the study was all the 22 public senior high schools in Palembang. The sample consisted of 14 school heads, 33 members of school management teams, and 150 teachers in the 14 schools.

Respondents perceived that the overall fund was insufficient to run the school activities. Several issues regarding the implementation include mismatch between the governor’s regulation and schools’ understanding of the program, absence of school management team that oversees FEP, and late payment. The FEP fund was used together with BOS and other funds to carry out school activities. Therefore, it is almost impossible to measure the outcomes and impact of FEP on education separately. It is recommended that the Provincial Government of South Sumatra and Palembang City Government be fully committed to the goal of FEP and distribute the fund on time.
