Analisis Kebijakan Pendidikan Di Era Pasca Pandemi: Formulasi, Implementasi, Dan Dampaknya Terhadap Pendidikan Di Indonesia

This study analyzes post-pandemic education policies in Indonesia, focusing on policy formulation, implementation, impacts, evaluation, and strengthening strategies. It uses a qualitative approach with a literature review design. Data were collected from academic journals and policy documents published between 2020 and 2026, then analyzed through content analysis to identify policy developments, implementation challenges, and opportunities for improvement. The findings show that post-pandemic education policies increasingly emphasize flexible and adaptive approaches, including the Merdeka Curriculum, to support learning recovery. However, implementation remains constrained by unequal digital infrastructure, differences in teacher readiness, and disparities in educational resources, particularly in rural areas and Islamic educational institutions. The literature also indicates that digitalization has a dual impact: it expands learning opportunities but may reinforce inequalities affecting disadvantaged students. Therefore, policy evaluation should consider effectiveness, equity, and responsiveness to local educational needs. Strengthening post-pandemic education requires continuous teacher professional development, equitable infrastructure provision, evidence-based policymaking, and the integration of local wisdom into digital literacy initiatives. These measures are important for promoting inclusive, context-sensitive, and sustainable learning recovery across Indonesia’s diverse educational settings for all learners nationwide.
