Evaluation Study of Basic Education in Palu City Central Sulawesi Province

Abstract

The stipulation of Law No. 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government causes the implementation of basic education to be handed over to district/city governments. However, once this research was carried out, an evaluation model could only improve the quality of basic education delivery in Palu City, raising the question of how the Palu City Government could evaluate the implementation and maximize the quality of basic education. This study uses the CIPP Model because the CIPP model provides a comprehensive evaluation offer, including evaluation of Context, Input, Process, and Product, and can find where there are deficiencies to correct them. The method used in this study is qualitative, using triangulation techniques to obtain an overview and concept of basic education implementation, which is the authority of the government of Palu City. In addition, efforts were made to search through various sources, from official government documents and other media, to describe those related to implementing basic education in Palu City. The results of this study indicate that the context evaluation carried out by looking at the implementation of the strategic plan has yet to be optimally implemented due to the earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction that hit Palu City on September 28, 2018, and the covid 19 pandemic. Input evaluation related to the condition of human resources (teachers) shows an increase in educational qualifications but has yet to be followed by an increase in teacher competence. Meanwhile, concerning the education budget, there have been inconsistencies in financing it because of budget politics in the DPRD, and in 2020 it still needs to reach 20% as per laws and regulations.
