The implementation of zoning policy  through the regulations of Minister of Education and Culture No. 51 in 2018 raises new problems in Indonesia. Some of these problems are also experienced by people in Cimahi. This research is motivated by the need for the local government of Cimahi to restructure and rearrange the adequacy of State Elementary Schools graduates to enroll State Junior High Schools in Cimahi. This qualitative descriptive research was carried out by processing data, organizing, analyzing, summarizing, and describing the conditions as they are related to the zoning map data for the 2019/2020 academic year of Cimahi. Zoning map for the 2019/2020 school year, the draft of local regulations of Cimahi, and also Minister of Education and Culture No. 51 of 2018 r concerning admission of new students are processed and analyzed qualitatively to see how adequate the access of education at State Junior High Schools seen from the number of its graduates that can be accommodated, as the effect of zoning policy. From the results of data analyzing, the conclusions are: 1) there is not yet adequate access to education at the State Junior High School level when it is compared to the number of graduates from State Elementary Schools; 2) from the nine zones in the zoning map of Cimahi, there were only 6 graduates from State Elementary Schools that can be accommodated in State Junior High Schools; and 3) there are still a large number of Elementary Schools graduates for the 2019/2020 school year who have not been accommodated in the zoned State Junior High Schools.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of school zoning policies on equal access to education for underprivileged students in Yogyakarta City. This research was motivated by the low quality and inadequate access to education for underprivileged students in Indonesia. Starting in 2018, the Central Government implemented a school zoning policy to improve the quality and equitable access to education for underprivileged families in every region. This research was carried out in 16 State Junior High Schools in Yogyakarta City. This was the research location because it was one of the national pilot areas chosen by the Central Government. A quantitative approach was used to evaluate secondary school data before and after the implementation of the zoning policy. The results showed that: (1) there was an increase in access to education for underprivileged students; and (2) the imbalance in the quality of favorite and non-favorite schools did not change and this was influenced by the economic conditions of each region. It can be concluded that the school zoning policy increased equal access to education for underprivileged students, but the next challenge for the Yogyakarta City Government is ensuring equal quality of education across junior high schools. Keywords: school zoning policy, equal access, junior high school, underprivileged student

A reform of public education in Japan took place from the 1980s, coming to a de facto end in 2013. The reform, which affected large numbers of Japanese children, focused on creating a more flexible, relaxed form of education by reducing the amount included in the curriculum. However, the effects of this reform have been ambiguous, and we therefore aimed to assess them more accurately. We assessed the effects of the reform by looking at the private educational costs of households during the reform period, using the data from a time series survey conducted by the Japanese government. Our evidence shows that the auxiliary study expenses of children in public junior high schools increased steadily, and the proportion of children from households in the highest income group attending private junior high schools also rose during the reform period. This evidence indicates that the reform had unexpected results. It may have triggered a widening of children’s academic ability gap depending on household wealth. There is also no comprehensive evaluation of how pressure-free education affected the academic results of Japanese children. We drew some lessons from this experience to suggest what is needed for successful educational reform.

This paper is motivated by the Regulation of the Governor of East Java Number 19 of 2014 about the subject of local language as a local content that is required to be taught in elementary schools/madrasah, Madura and Javanese language. In the regulation, Using language is not included as one of the local contents. Meanwhile, the Local Regulation of Banyuwangi stated that Using language should be thought in elementary schools and junior high schools since 2007. It certainly caused paradox between the Regulation of the Governor and the Local Regulation of Banyuwangi Regency. This paper highlights how Using Bayuwangi language has high language vitality and is able to accommodate with other languages (i.e. Gintangan Village, Rogojampi District, Banyuwangi). The ability of Using language to survive within the society obviously draws questions as to why the Regulation of the Governor is unable to observe from the ethics and emic point of views. The ethics point of view mostly theoretically, which is probably temporary and needed to be verified, while the emic point of view tends to be practical, historical and concrete. A compromised solution may needed to be sought, for example only languages that are truly maintained by its people and proved to have high ethnolinguistic vitality that should be preserved, while others probably should be sacrificed. ABSTRAK Makalah ini bertolak pada Peraturan Gubernur Jawa Timur Nomor 19 tahun 2014 tentang mata pelajaran bahasa daerah sebagai muatan lokal wajib diajarkan sekolah/madrasah yaitu bahasa daerah Madura dan bahasa Jawa. Di dalam Peraturan Gubernur Jawa Timur tersebut Bahasa Using tidak diikutsertakan dalama muatan lokal tersebut. Sementara itu, Peraturan Daerah Banyuwangi yang memberlakukan bahasa daerah Using diajarkan di SD dan SMP sejak tahun 2007. Hal ini tentunya timbul paradoks di dalam Peraturan Gubernur dan Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Banyuwangi. Tulisan ini menyoroti bagaimana bahasa Using Banyuwangi memiliki vitalitas bahasa yang tinggi dan mampu berakomodasi dengan bahasa di luar bahasa Using (sampel Desa Gintangan, Kecamatan Rogojampi, Banyuwangi). Kemampuan bahasa Using yang dapat bertahan di masyarakatnya tersebut tentunya memunculkan pertanyaan mengapa Peraturan Gubernur tidak melihat dari sudut pandangan etik dan emik dalam bahasa. Pandangan etik lebih banyak bersifat teoretis, masih bersifat sementara dan perlu diuji kebenarannya. Sementara pandangan emik lebih bersifat praktis, kesejarahan, dan kenyataan yang konkret. Untuk itu perlu dicari penyelesaian kompromistis, hanya bahasa yang benar-benar dipelihara oleh masyarakatnya, yang terbukti vitalitas etnolinguisnya tinggi, dan yang perlu dilestarikan.

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of applying the zonasi system policy on New Student Admissions (PPDB) in Junior High Schools (SMP). This study uses a qualitative approach with field observation techniques, documentation, and interviews. The results showed that the implementation of the zonasi system in PPDB in junior high schools had positive and negative impacts are: 1) the positive impact of the zoning system policy is to make schools more sensitive to the diverse needs of students. In addition, every teacher must be able to improve his quality at the time of learning related to the varied abilities of students, and 2) helped students with low minimum test score obtain an education. The negative impacts are: 1) the zonasi system makes good schools less good because the main components in PPDB are no longer based on academic achievement, and 2) limits students in choosing schools.
