The specific purposes were: a) to describe and analyse the tendency in education sector budgeting as well as the outputs and outcomes of education development in Papua provincial government, regencies/municipality in Papua, and Papua as a whole; and b) to assess and analyse the efficiency of budget expenditures in education sector related to outputs and outcomes from the implementation of education development planning. The analysing tool used to assess efficiency and effectiveness of the regional finance was Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). DEA is presented with correlation and determinant analysis.

Thus, none of these regencies and municipality was ideal, achieving synergy and integration in regional finance management in education sector. This revealed that the majority of regencies and municipality in Papua province encountered serious problems in managing their public finance particularly in education sector such as planning, budgeting, reporting, controlling, monitoring and evaluating.
