Evaluation of Education Policy in Improving School Quality

Abstract

Education policy plays a crucial role in improving the quality of schools and ensuring the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of education policies in enhancing school quality, particularly in terms of academic achievement, teacher performance, and school management. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with a literature review design by analyzing various relevant previous studies. The data were collected from national and international journal articles related to education policy and school quality improvement. The findings show that effective education policies contribute significantly to improving school quality through better resource management, teacher professional development, and curriculum implementation. However, several challenges were also identified, such as unequal policy implementation, limited resources in certain regions, and lack of teacher readiness in adapting to policy changes. In conclusion, education policy has a positive impact on improving school quality when it is implemented effectively and supported by adequate infrastructure and human resources.
