PENGARUH KEPEMIMPINAN STRATEJIK DAN MANAJEMEN PEMBIAYAAN TERHADAP MUTU PENDIDIKAN

Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview of the extent of the influence of strategic leadership and financial management on the quality of junior high school education. The research approach used a descriptive method with a correlational quantitative approach. From the research results, three basic findinelmrgs were found: (1) strategic leadership has a significant influence on the quality of education by 43.5%, (2), financial management has a significant effect on the quality of education by 32.6% and (3) strategic leadership and financing management provide a significant influence simultaneously and complement each other to increase the quality of education by 60.4%. Thus, it is obtained a description that the strategic leadership and financial management factors have an impact and have a strong influence on improving the quality of education, especially in junior high school education units. The implication is that efforts to improve the quality of education do not always have to focus on issues of educational facilities and infrastructure, curriculum diversification, teacher quality or education budgets. Solving the problems mentioned above is indeed important, but it is also necessary to strengthen strategic leadership and financing management in educational units supported by a shared determination to implement it.
