Education Quality Control Strategies In Madrasah: A Theoretical And Practical Review

Abstract

Quality implementation in madrasah still faces various challenges, such as inequality of quality between madrasah, weak monitoring systems, and limited resources. This research aims to analyze theoretical concepts regarding quality control of education and examine how it is applied in madrasah. Using the motto of literature research, this article examines the main literature related to education quality management, academic supervision, and quality improvement strategies in Islamic educational institutions. The results of the study show that effective quality control strategies in madrasah include quality planning based on the institution's vision-mission, the implementation of academic supervision to improve teacher professionalism, and data-based monitoring through digital systems such as e-Madrasah Work Plans and Budgets, Education Management Information System, and  the Ministry of Religion's Educator and Education Personnel Management Information System. On the other hand, challenges such as the administrative burden of teachers, resistance to change, and budget constraints are still major obstacles. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the managerial capacity of madrasah heads, integrate information technology in quality monitoring, and develop a teacher learning community as part of the madrasah quality culture.
