Abstract

Purpose - This study examines how strategic education-policy issues were framed in the opinion column of Tribun-Timur.com during Indonesia’s 2022–2024 education-recovery period. Methods - A mixed-method content analysis was conducted on opinion articles published between January 2022 and December 2024. , the search initially identified 60 records. After removing two duplicates and excluding eight records that were either straight-news reports or insufficiently related to education, 50 articles were retained. Articles were coded for theme, actor, Entman’s four framing functions, argumentative position, and valence. Ten articles were independently coded by two coders. Krippendorff’s alpha was 0.80 for framing, 0.76 for argumentative position, and 0.78 for valence. Findings - The corpus included 11 articles from 2022, 22 from 2023, and 17 from 2024. The most frequent theme was education quality and educator welfare (30%), followed by Merdeka Belajar/curriculum implementation (14%), political education (10%), bullying and violence (6%), and other themes (40%). The texts primarily constructed education policy as a gap between policy ideals and implementation realities. Critical and conditional positions predominated. Research implications - Regional opinion media can support public evaluation of education policy, but the findings describe one outlet’s published texts and do not directly measure public opinion. Originality - The study connects Entman’s framing model with regional education-policy discourse during a national education-recovery period.
