Analysis of Education Policy Issues in Pariaman City

Analisis Masalah Kebijakan Pendidikan di Kota Pariaman

Abstract

One important component in the formation of high-quality human resources is education policy. Education policy covers many things, including education quality, equal access, curriculum, teacher welfare, and infrastructure. In many developing countries, including Indonesia, the main problem faced is the difference in access to education between different economic groups, between cities and villages, and between urban and rural areas. The quality of education is also questioned, as the curriculum is often considered irrelevant to changes in the job market. In addition, the lack of teacher well-being has an impact on their enthusiasm and performance in teaching. Governments often have difficulty creating policies that can align quality improvement and equal access.
