Regulation of Education Quality Assurance System

Regulation of Education Quality Assurance System A. Regulation of the Minister of National Education No. 28 of 2016 concerning the Education Quality Assurance System The Ministerial Regulation explains the division of tasks and coordination of education quality assurance activities among education stakeholders in the regions. These activities are mapping and measurement activities, analysis and activities to improve the quality and capacity of schools as educational units. All of these quality assurance activities refer to the standard provisions set by the government, namely the National Education Standards. However, all activities covered in the ministerial regulation do not yet reflect a comprehensive quality management system that touches all aspects of quality assurance. The quality management that is widely campaigned is the implementation of a management system that has not really touched on the real quality side and its implementation is still limited to the consistency and conformity of administrative documents for educational unit activities. All of these quality assurance activities refer to the standard provisions set by the government, namely the National Education Standards. For that, an effort is needed to encourage and motivate school residents and all education stakeholders to better understand and learn the concept of quality and various approaches, techniques and innovations related to quality. The quality management system as an approach in realizing a quality assurance program is very important to be placed (Rahwati. D, 2009:13-14). B. Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 19 of 2005 concerning National Education Standards Where it is explicitly stated that educational units, both formal and non-formal, are required to guarantee the quality of education which is carried out in stages, systematically and planned in a quality assurance program that has clear targets and time frames. The Internal Quality Assurance System makes schools the main actors or spearheads of education quality assurance. SPMI creates schools as learning organizations and creates the importance of a culture of quality. Quality is no longer positioned as a burden, but as a necessity and even as a lifestyle. Quality is no longer the responsibility of certain parties, but becomes everyone's business. Every school citizen is expected to actively participate and contribute to improving the quality of education in schools (Puspitasari, H. 2018:340-341). C. Regulation of the Ministry of National Education (Permendiknas) of the Republic of Indonesia Number 63 of 2009 Article 2 concerning the Education Quality Assurance System It is stated that the ultimate goal of education quality assurance is to improve the intelligence of human and national life as stated in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. In line with this policy, an education quality assurance system was developed consisting of two components, namely: External Quality Assurance System (SPME) and Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI). SPME is a quality assurance system implemented by the government and education stakeholders, while SPMI is a quality assurance system implemented by educational units. SPMI is carried out independently by each school by following the cycle as stated in the Education Quality Assurance System (SPMP) and is carried out by all members of the school. SPMI acts as an early warning system, which means that SPMI which is implemented carefully and appropriately can be used as an improvement in relation to the education implementation process, so that it does not get worse (Zahrok, A. L. 2020:198-199).
