The Minister of Education and Technology establishes a policy of independent learning as stated in Permendikbud Number 8 and Number 19 of 2020 as a form of high direction and support behavior in responding to the covid pandemic situation to make it easier for schools to spend the BOS budget so that the learning process can be optimal; 2) The use of BOS funds in the majority of schools has followed the mechanism established by the Minister of Education and Technology in the Free Learning program: Relaxation of BOS Funds. BOS funds are proven to have a correlation with education accessibility and have a positive impact.
