Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation policy of teacher assignment as school principals and describe what kind of strategies used to assign teacher as school principals using study case in Bontang City, East Kalimantan as well as to know if the implemented public policy fails or not to meet the purpose that has been planned. The School principal preparation is designed to increase their competency levels but the results have not been fully utilized by stakeholders. The design of the study was the qualitative research approach using DEM (Discrepancy Evaluation Model) model or called gap model. During the program implementation, it was necessary to see the gap and the expected field result as the indicator of successful recruitment. The policy evaluation of the teacher assignments as school principals can provide input to the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia through policy-making reinforcement for the successful teacher assignment as principals. The principals as the leader at school are expected to produce good management, accountability and public image of Indonesian education. A good selection system is expected to be able to produce school principals who have high credibility as it is important in the current era of education.
