Abstract

Ensuring the delivery of high-quality education has been a persistent challenge within Indonesia’s education system, requiring innovative solutions that align with local needs while leveraging global best practices. This study examines quality assurance frameworks implemented in Finland, South Korea, and the United States to propose a comprehensive model tailored to the Indonesian context. Finland’s decentralized, trust based approach highlights the importance of empowering schools and teachers to design locally relevant curricula. South Korea emphasizes standardized assessments, continuous teacher development, and meticulous curriculum alignment to maintain high educational standards. The United States prioritizes data-driven decision-making and robust stakeholder engagement, ensuring education reflects local socio-economic conditions. Based on insights from these systems, the proposed quality assurance model for Indonesian schools integrates five key components: (1) effective and transformative school leadership to drive continuous improvement; (2) decentralized and context sensitive curriculum design that accommodates diverse student needs; (3) a balanced assessment system combining standardized tests and alternative methods for holistic evaluation; (4) sustained investment in teacher professional development to enhance instructional quality; and (5) broad stakeholder engagement, fostering collaboration among parents, community organizations, and industry partners. This model aims to address systemic challenges such as inconsistent implementation of quality assurance practices, fragmented curricula, and limited stakeholder participation. By fostering a culture of excellence, accountability, and collaboration, the proposed framework supports the development of a resilient and adaptive education system that meets the dynamic demands of the 21st century. The study concludes that the successful implementation of this model requires commitment from policymakers, educators, and communities, alongside investments in capacity building and resource allocation. This holistic approach has the potential to transform Indonesia’s education system, ensuring sustainable improvements in quality, equity, and student outcomes.
