Abstract

Education is a pillar of a nation. A developed nation certainly has a good quality education. It cannot be denied that education is one of the keys to increasing national development. The main focus in the development of education until now is still on improving the quality and equity of education. The condition of education in Indonesia shows that the quality of education is still low. This is caused by several factors such as education costs, education disparity between urban and rural areas, and character education which is still concerning. The purpose of this study was to determine the policies made by the government in the era of President Joko Widodo. The study was conducted with qualitative methods and analytic observation of literature such as books, journals, reports, and newspapers. The results showed that the efforts made by the government to improve the quality of education in the era of President Joko Widodo consisted of 1) Program Indonesia Pintar (PIP), 2) Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter (PPK), and 3) Zonasi Pendidikan.
