Abstract
Decentralization of Education in Indonesia is a policy issued by the government in Education Law number 20 of 2003. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency, several regions are still lagging in their education implementation. This research discusses the strategic issues that exist in the education decentralization policy in Indonesia, then will formulate alternative strategies for implementing decentralization in Indonesia. Through a qualitative approach with text analysis methods and primary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency, it was found that there were three main issues in the implementation of decentralization of education. All three are issues of financing, quality control, and teacher professionalism. Based on these three issues, an alternative strategy is formulated, namely the cooperation between the central, regional, and educational institutions, so that the education decentralization policy can lead to improving the quality of education in Indonesia.
