Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of teacher certification policy in addressing the teacher shortage crisis in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected from interviews with certified teachers, principals, and policymakers to understand the implementation of the policy, the challenges faced, and its impact on education quality. The results show that although teacher certification can improve pedagogical skills, implementation is often hampered by inadequate operational support, uneven distribution of certified teachers, and budget constraints. Inequitable distribution of teachers, especially in remote areas, as well as budget and ongoing training issues are key issues that reduce the effectiveness of the policy. To increase the impact of the certification policy, better operational support at the school level, incentives for teachers in less developed areas, and most importantly, more effective budget planning are needed. These findings provide important insights for policy makers and education practitioners in designing more comprehensive strategies to improve education quality in Indonesia.

Abstract

Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) is one of the government’s initiatives to improve school children’s nutrition and reduce stunting rates in Indonesia. However, its implementation in West Bandung Regency still faces various challenges. The occurrence of mass food poisoning among students after consuming MBG meals highlights weak food quality monitoring, limited resources, and suboptimal coordination between schools, food providers, and related agencies. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the MBG program in West Bandung Regency using a descriptive qualitative approach. The findings reveal that the MBG program has not been fully implemented in accordance with the expected standards. The main inhibiting factors include weak monitoring systems, lack of food safety education, and inadequate cross-sectoral collaboration. Therefore, strengthening monitoring mechanisms, enhancing implementers’ capacity, and encouraging community involvement are essential to ensure that the MBG program is safe, healthy, and sustainable.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of collaboration between the Local Government and the Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD) in the formulation of regional regulations (Peraturan Daerah or Perda) in Cirebon City. The formulation of regional regulations is an essential element of local governance and reflects the quality of policy coordination, democratic participation, and institutional capacity at the regional level. However, in practice, collaboration between the executive and legislative bodies often faces obstacles such as overlapping interests, limited synchronization of programs, and differing policy priorities. The purpose of this research is to analyze the level of effectiveness of collaboration between the Cirebon City Government and the DPRD in the process of drafting and determining regional regulations, and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in the collaboration process. The study applies a qualitative-descriptive approach supported by primary data collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and observation. The theoretical foundation of this study is based on the concept of collaborative governance (Ansell & Gash, 2007), which emphasizes participation, consensus, and joint decision-making as the main pillars of inter-institutional cooperation. The findings indicate that the collaboration between the Local Government and DPRD in Cirebon City has been moderately effective. The two institutions have established routine communication, mutual consultation, and coordination forums. However, collaboration has not yet reached an optimal level due to differences in political orientation, limited bureaucratic capacity, and inadequate public involvement in the early stages of policy formulation. The study recommends strengthening the collaboration framework through improved communication mechanisms, transparent consultation procedures, and capacity-building programs for legislative and executive members. This research contributes to the understanding of collaborative governance within Indonesia’s decentralized administrative system. It highlights that effective collaboration between political and bureaucratic actors is not only a procedural requirement but also a fundamental condition for the success of democratic governance at the regional level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of supervision on employee work discipline at the Department of Housing, Settlement Areas, and Land Affairs of Cirebon Regency. Supervision is defined as an organizational control mechanism consisting of direct and indirect supervision, while work discipline includes preventive and corrective discipline. This research employed a quantitative approach using a saturated sampling technique, involving all 79 employees as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results indicate that the level of supervision is categorized as “good,” with an average score of 3.70, while employee work discipline is categorized as “high,” with an average score of 3.85. The regression analysis confirms that supervision has a positive and significant influence on employee discipline. These findings highlight that strengthening supervision—both direct and indirect—plays a crucial role in improving employee discipline. The study contributes to the development of internal supervision policies for local government agencies.

Abstract

This research analyzes the implementation of the Regent of Cirebon Regulation Number 66 of 2021 concerning the Talent Management System for Civil Servants (Aparatur Sipil Negara, ASN) within the Cirebon Regency Government. The policy aims to create a professional, accountable, and competitive bureaucracy through the systematic development of human resources based on merit principles. However, in practice, several challenges emerge, including inadequate understanding of talent management concepts, uneven competence mapping, and limited digital integration in the implementation process. This study applies a qualitative descriptive approach, focusing on the analysis of policy implementation according to the model proposed by Edward III (1980), which emphasizes four key variables: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Data were collected through interviews with officials from the Regional Civil Service and Human Resource Development Agency (BKPSDM), document analysis, and field observation. The research also employed secondary data from official government reports, performance evaluations, and local regulations related to human resource management. The findings show that the implementation of talent management in Cirebon Regency has been initiated structurally through the issuance of regulatory instruments and the formation of a task force. However, at the operational level, the process has not been fully optimal. The main constraints include limited understanding of talent management among civil servants, absence of standardized performance evaluation systems, and weak inter-departmental coordination in identifying and developing potential talents. In addition, technological support systems such as the digital database and information integration between agencies remain inadequate. The study concludes that successful implementation of talent management requires not only regulatory support but also organizational commitment, leadership, and systematic competence development. The Cirebon Regency Government is advised to strengthen institutional capacity, improve human resource planning, and integrate information systems to support evidence-based and meritocratic personnel management.
