Performance of School Based Management in Targeted Area in West Papua
The concept of school-based management (MBS) gives full authority to schools and teachers in organizing education and teaching, planning, organizing, supervising, and leading human resources for the implementation of learning which corresponds to the purpose of the school. School management directly affects and determines the effectiveness of the curricula, learning tools and methods, the teaching time, and the learning process. Thus, efforts to improve the quality of education should begin with the improvement of school management, in addition to improving teacher quality and development of learning resources. The data of this survey study was described qualitatively which was taken from 111 schools across six districts in rural areas.
