The Human Development Index (HDI) of the Selayar Islands Regency experienced an insignificant improvement. The low education index causes the low HDI achievement of the Selayar Islands Regency because the achievement of education index is lower than the health index and the expenditure index. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the education index. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the education index. This study uses secondary data in the form of panel data which is a combination of time series data from 2014 to 2019 and cross section data from 11 sub-districts. Panel data to measure the factors that affect the Education Index were analyzed using regression analysis. The results showed that the teacher to student ratio at elementary school had a negative effect on the education index, the class to student ratio at elementary school had a positive effect on the education index, while the school to student ratio at elementary school, school to student ratio at junior high school, class to student ratio at junior high school and teacher to student ratio at junior high school had no effect on the education index.
