Standards of Education Management in the Quality of Tsanawiyah Madrasah

Abstract

This research aims to describe the implementation and explain the factors that influence the implementation of Educational Management in Madrasah Quality at Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) Surban Pacet based on the Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia number 47 of 2023 Concerning Education Management Standards. The methodology used in this research includes a qualitative approach, utilizing data collected from various sources, including school records, interviews with educators and administrators, and direct observation. This research is based on public administration theory, especially those related to policy implementation and education management. The results of this study indicate that although there is general awareness of the regulations among school staff, there are significant challenges in implementing them. These challenges include limited understanding of standards among educators, inadequate resources, and insufficient training and development opportunities. In addition, the dual management system involving the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Religion creates additional complexity in the implementation process. This research concludes that for successful implementation of education management standards, educators need comprehensive training, better resource allocation, and more integrated coordination between the two ministries that oversee madrasa education. These steps are essential to ensure that management standards meet regulatory requirements and contribute to improving the overall quality of education at MTs Surban Pacet. This research contributes to public policy and education management by providing insight into the practical challenges of implementing policies in the education sector, particularly in religious schools in Indonesia. This research emphasizes the importance of tailored strategies and support systems to increase the effectiveness of educational management practices.
