MANAJEMEN SEKOLAH DALAM MENINGKATKAN MUTU PENDIDIKAN DI SMA SWASTA MUTIARA MANDAU

Abstract

This study aims to examine how school management contributes to improving the quality of education at SMA Swasta Mutiara Mandau. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that the implementation of management functions—namely planning, organizing, and evaluation—has been carried out fairly well and has made a significant contribution to enhancing educational quality. Well-structured program planning, the implementation of activities involving all school stakeholders, and regular evaluations are key factors in supporting the quality of learning. However, several challenges remain, including limited facilities and infrastructure as well as low community participation. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen school management through more innovative and collaborative strategies in order to achieve sustainable improvement in educational quality.
