Theresults show that the management of Dapodik PAUD in Bandar Lampung City hasbeen supported by policies, human resources, facilities and infrastructure, as wellas coordination between the Education Office and educational institutions. Inpractice, the data management process is carried out through stages of datacollection, data entry, validation, and periodic data synchronization. However,several obstacles were still found, including delays in data updates, data entryerrors, technical system disruptions, and limited operator capabilities in severaleducational institutions. Nevertheless, the management of Dapodik has been able toproduce educational data that are used as the basis for educational programplanning and the distribution of Early Childhood Education Operational Assistance(BOP PAUD).
