EDUCATION DECENTRALIZATION POLICY: SCHOOL/MADRASAH BASED MANAGEMENT

Adha Shafira, Siti Alsyah

Abstract


Educational decentralization is part of regional autonomy policy aimed at bringing education services closer to the community and improving quality in an equitable manner. This study aims to analyze the implementation of educational decentralization policy in Indonesia through the School-Based Management (SBM) and Madrasah-Based Management (MBM) approaches. The research method employed is a literature review using a descriptive qualitative approach by analyzing regulatory documents, theoretical frameworks, and previous research findings. The results show that decentralization provides flexibility for local governments and educational units in managing resources, making decisions, and involving the community. However, this policy also faces challenges such as disparities in regional capacity, weak supervision, and suboptimal synergy between central and local governments. International comparisons with countries such as Finland, Japan, and the Philippines highlight the importance of professional educators and a balanced governance system between central and regional authorities. This study concludes that the success of educational decentralization depends greatly on strengthening human resource capacity, establishing accountable oversight systems, and synchronizing policies across levels of government.
