Education Policy Evaluation Process in Indonesia

Abstract

The process of implementing education policies needs special attention. Because almost every element of education has deficiencies that need improvement. Starting from the formulation, legitimacy, implementation, communication, and community participation in educational policies. The formulation of educational policies as part of the educational policy process is the most crucial stage because the implementation and evaluation of policies can only be carried out if the policy formulation stage has been completed. In addition, the failure of a policy or program in achieving its objectives largely stems from imperfect management of the formulation stage. Therefore, the importance of early evaluation since policy formulation is carried out will prevent failures in policy implementation. Evaluation of education policy aims to measure and assess the level of success of the implementation of the criteria that have been set. In addition, by conducting an evaluation, it will be possible to know the impacts and risks faced in implementing the policy so as to minimize larger failures. The effectiveness of the curriculum in special conditions further reinforces the importance of changing the design and strategy of implementing a more comprehensive curriculum. The advantages of the Independent Curriculum are simpler and deeper because this curriculum will focus on essential materials and the development of student competencies in phases
