This research aims to discuss the development of education in the Bajubang area. Ethical politics was a pioneer in the development of education in the Dutch East Indies region. The implementation of this ethical political policy was carried out by the Dutch as an opportunity to obtain cheap labor from the native community. Schools began to be built by the Dutch in various regions in Indonesia, one of which was Bajubang. The development of education in the Bajubang area cannot be separated from the petroleum exploitation activities carried out by the NV NIAM company or the oil company owned by the Dutch government in Jambi. NV NIAM established a lower level school called SR NIAM and managed by the company. During Japanese rule, this school only carried out teaching and learning activities for a year and resumed operations after Indonesia's independence. After independence, SR NIAM experienced development and changed its name to SR PERTAMIN, in 1964 it became SD PERTAMIN. The curriculum used by this school follows government standards. In 1968, PERTAMIN Elementary School was changed to Pertamina I Elementary School and Pertamina II Elementary School, until in 1995 these two schools were merged again to become YKPP Bajubang Elementary School.

This research aims to explore Tan Jing Sing's role in determining the direction of Chinese-Javanese relations in Yogyakarta. The historiography of the Yogyakarta Sultanate has been dominated by narratives that describe the roles of Javanese nobles, while the Chinese community only receives a minimal portion of the historiography. This research is expected to fill the gap in the existing historiography so that it can further illustrate the relationship between this community and the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. This research uses the historical method, which includes heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, focusing on Tan Jin Sin and the Chinese community in Yogyakarta in the early 19th century. The results show that the conflict between Sultan Sepuh and Crown Prince Raden Mas Surojo was the main cause of Tan Jin Sing's entry into Yogyakarta's political sphere. Tan Jin Sing's involvement in the turmoil was like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the conflict benefited the Chinese community in Yogyakarta as their economic and political position became more prominent. However, on the other hand, their lives became unsettled as social jealousy arose, leading to the anti-Chinese sentiment among the community.
