Abstract

This study aims to determine the achievement of the implementation of education quality
planning and work productivity in improving the performance of the Sumedang Regency
Education Office through eight National Education Standards. Based on accreditation data
and barriers to achieving National Education Standards for primary and secondary
education, Early Childhood Education and Community Education. This research uses
descriptive qualitative. Data were obtained from school principals, school supervisors, and
the Education Office, and based on purposive sampling of elementary schools in the urban
area of Sumedang Regency. Secondary data was obtained from interviews while primary data
was obtained from the implementation of eight national education standards. Based on the
results of the research, it shows that there are three educational standards that still need
attention, namely the standards of educators and educational staff, standards of facilities and
infrastructure and graduate competency standards. Obstacles encountered in fulfilling
standards at the level of educational units are mainly the standards of educators and
education staff, standards of facilities and infrastructure and standards of financing. Thus,
not all educational standards have been met by schools. Efforts that need to be made in
achieving national education standards are that it is necessary to carry out continuous
coaching of schools and school principals. For fulfilling the standards of educators and
education staff, facilities and infrastructure standards and financing standards, those who are
responsible for fulfilling them are the central government and local governments through
education financing policies.
