Implementation of School-Based Management (SBM) in Improving the Quality of Education

This study aims to analyze the implementation of School-Based Management (SBM) in an effort to improve the quality of education in educational units. MBS is a management approach that gives schools greater autonomy to manage resources and decision-making independently, while still referring to national policies. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with case study methods in several schools that have implemented SBM. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The results of the study show that the implementation of MBS has a positive impact on the quality of education, especially in improving teacher performance, school resource management, and community participation. The main factors that support the success of MBS are effective leadership of school principals, collaboration with stakeholders, and the use of technology in education management. However, the research also identified a number of challenges, such as limited financial resources, lack of training for teachers and staff, and resistance to change. The conclusion of this study is that MBS has great potential to improve the quality of education if implemented effectively with adequate support from all relevant parties. To maximize results, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity of school principals, provide continuous training for teachers, and increase the participation of the community and other stakeholders in school management. This research contributes to the development of more effective SBM implementation strategies in the future.
