ANALISIS IMPLEMENTASI PENGENDALIAN MUTU PENDIDIKAN TINGGI DI INDONESIA

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of quality control in higher education in Indonesia, particularly the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI), to address the inequality of education quality with a low Gross Enrollment Rate (APK) of 32% and regional disparities. The main objectives are to identify theoretical concepts, supporting regulations such as Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025, implementation practices through the PPEPP cycle (Planning-Implementation-Evaluation-Control-Improvement), as well as the main challenges in the context of Islamic religious education. The research method used The research method used is a library research with a descriptive qualitative approach, which examines various quality management literature (TQM and CQI), and case studies of state/private universities, involving data triangulation from primary and secondary sources such as BPS Education Statistics 2024. The results show that SPMI is effective in improving accreditation and graduate competency through the commitment of the academic community, but is hampered by limited human resources, infrastructure, and a weak quality culture, especially in eastern Indonesia. This research provides recommendations for ongoing training, technology integration, and stakeholder synergy to achieve nationally competitive, high-quality higher education.
