This study examinedthe effect of school accreditation, education budget, and teacher competence on the quality of high school graduates. The analysis method used was a panel regression through the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach, and the data were from 2017-2019. The results showed that school accreditation and education budgets had an effect on the quality of graduates. Also, the implication of this study is that schools need to increase accreditation, as well as the education budget. In terms of teacher competence, the teachers need to improve their             competence by taking an active role in organizations, training teacher capacity, and mastery of information technology. Meanwhile, teacher competence has no effect on the quality of graduates in senior secondary schools. Simultaneously, all variables have a significant effect on the graduates quality. The limitation of this study is the data used, regardless of the status of private and public schools. Therefore, studies to compare private and public schools are of particular interest.

Wiki is a typical representative of the User-Generated Content. Its appearance greatly promotes the creation, organization, management, and sharing of knowledge on the Internet. As articles grow rapidly in Wikis, the quality of the articles has aroused many people’s concerns. The topics on how to assess and control the quality of articles have attracted many researchers. However, few studies have been conducted to investigate the status of this research topic. This chapter explores the current research status and trends of wikis' quality and governance. The authors selected papers from the databases of ISI, EI, IEEE, and other widely used databases. They reported the trends and research of wikis’ quality and governance using bibliometric analysis and content analysis of a total of 99 relevant papers. The results show that although the research topics in the field have experienced a very rapid development, they are still at an early age that lacks theories to support them. The discipline of Library and Information Science was found to play a very active role in this new area. Future research agenda and directions are also discussed.

Though the status of Madrasah is equal to the other public schools, as attached in ULI Sisdiknas No 20 Tahun 2003, and some efforts have been made to improve the quality of Madrasah conceptually, problem of quality development in Madrasah and its graduates cannot be overcome adequately because it is not supported by the policy of educational budget. Changing the budget policy for Madrasah had a good momentum in compliance with political reformation, in which some Madrasah graduates came into as legislatosi; politicians, bureaucrats, and so forth. They, of course, can participated in making decision, mainly in making a national budget. Besides, the real condition faced by Madrasah in the globalization era is how can Madrasah be survive, how can it produce competitive outputs in this era without leaving out its characteristic and labels as Islamic institution. Another serious challenge is the problem of replacement of Moslem's orientation , from education as a medium of getting knowledge to preparation for getting ajob.

Madrasah and schools have the same vision, mission and goals, namely the organizers of education in order to educate the life of the nation. Both of these institutions each have their own uniqueness and characteristics, because of their different backgrounds and histories. Competition and competition between educational institutions are still finding things that are unfair and cause polemics with each other. Even though the status and pos of the madrasa is the same as the school as the Joint Decree of the Minister of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, the Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, and the Minister of Education and Culture, and SKB 3 Minister Number 06/1975.037/U/1975, and Number 36/1975 about improving the quality and quality of education in madrasas. The main points and substance of the referred SKB are first, that the recognition of diplomas at madrasah graduates can have a value equivalent to the recognition of public school diplomas and equivalent. Secondly, graduates / madrasah alumni can continue their studies to public schools and those who are on a higher level. And third, students in the madrasa can transfer to public schools of the same level. If we understand the difference between madrasa and school, it is only limited to textual understanding, it will lead us to a simple understanding and be trapped in mere symbolic understanding. So when these differences can be created at school, the difference between madrasa and other schools will disappear.

Education Board is an independent institution that was formed and played a role in improving the quality of education services. The contribution of this institution in the development of education at the District/City level has been questioned. Institutions that should be the front guard in accommodating community participation are apparently not popular enough in the eyes of the public. His role in improving the quality of education has not been significant. This research is aimed to evaluate government policies regarding the Education Board, so that it can be concluded that the policy is beneficial for improving the quality of education services. This study uses the Discrepancy Evaluation Model method which consists of four stages, namely: design stage, installation stage, process stage, and product stage. The subjects in this study were the Education Board, the Education Office, the Regional People’s Representative Assembly, and all public schools in Cirebon Regency which were selected by the cluster sampling method. The results of the study indicate that the unclear rules regarding the source of funding for the Education Board are obstacles in the implementation of the work program of this institution. At the design and installation stages, this policy has been implemented according to the rules set. The work program has also been prepared by the Education Board according to the purpose of its formation. But the limitations of the budget and human resources are obstacles to optimizing the contribution of this institution in education development. It needs full support from the local government through Regents Regulations related to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of various companies in Cirebon Regency, so that the improvement in the quality of education services can be more evenly distributed, and industry field (DUDI) has an overall active role in improving the quality of education in Cirebon Regency.

The article elaborates on people’s perception regarding the importance of education. In doing so, it explores the role of schools and teachers, opinions about schooling system and the comparison between private and public schools. A total of 28 indepth interviews were conducted with key stakeholders students, parents and teachers. While in general parents and students value education but they showed little hope in the system. A comparison between private and public schools seemed inevitable and formed a major part of all the discussions. Blame attribution emerged as a prominent dimension; the children and parents blame schools and teachers over low quality of education while teachers view parents’ lack of interest as a hindrance to effective education. To conclude, education is realized as a collective benefit for which collective effort is required.

In 2008, Brazilian legislators approved a law that added music on a mandatory basis to the basic national school curriculum. Despite the possibilities afforded by this legislation, music educators affirm that many questions remain due to its ambiguity. Given the 2012 deadline for the implementation of this law, there is a need to understand how it was enacted across diverse settings. This study considers the implementation from the perspective of music teachers. Thus, in this interview study, we seek to understand the status of music education throughout the country according to the perspectives of music educators from private and public schools. Such perspectives are situated within reviews of educational history, legislation, policy, and research. Findings point toward the need to (a) address a shortage of music teachers; (b) better define the preparation of professional music educators; and (c) identify pedagogies which are likely to have the greatest impact in implementing this new law.

Social enterprises (businesses) represent an emerging sector not only in developing countries but also in the EU. The deepening of social problems associated with high unemployment of graduates, persons at age over 50 years and other vulnerable groups in the labour market brings new impulses for designing public policy and development of cooperation between the different actors (role of NGOs, financial intermediaries, local authorities, etc). The paper focuses on the environment analysis - regulatory approaches, forms and types of support, quality of financial services at European level and states and regions from Western, Central and Northern Europe, involved in the learning Network for Better Future of Social Economy. We can say, the status of the social economy and opportunities are different in each country as a result of reflection of value orientation of society, the quality of the environment. However, it is possible to identify common problems and typical ways to support social economy. It means to overcome lack of co-operation between financial sector, NGOs and public sector inproviding funding for social enterprises, to provide mix of private and public funds in order to solve problem connected with funds insufficiency. It is necessary to set up integrated support schemes allowing the use of various types of financial instruments (grant mechanisms, loans using financial engineering instruments). It is necessary to couple the investment in social enterprises with investment in human capital.
