Abstract

This study investigates the educational policy process in response to the decline in new student enrollment at Private Vocational High Schools (SMKS) in Mojokerto Regency and City for the 2025-2026 Academic Year. Utilizing Anderson's Public Policy theory, it traces the issue's evolution from an internal problem to an institutional one. Data were collected through document analysis, structured interviews with school principals and local education office officials, and policy observation. The findings reveal that the decline, initially an internal issue of attractiveness and competition, escalated into a public problem as it affected 35% of private SMKs. It further transformed into a systemic Education Policy Issue upon the discovery of an imbalanced quota allocation, where public schools accommodated only 38% of junior high school graduates, creating inequity for private SMKs. The issue was elevated to the institutional agenda through interventions such as reviewing admission quotas, advocating for fairer zoning, and enhancing collaboration with the Business and Industrial World (DUDI). The study concludes that Anderson's model provides an effective framework for understanding education policy dynamics in crisis response and underscores the need for inclusive policies to ensure the sustainability of private vocational education. These findings offer practical contributions for policymakers in designing more responsive and sustainable interventions

Abstract

Many partnerships between vocational high schools (SMK) and industry (DUDI) remain limited to formal administrative arrangements such as Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), without effective managerial governance. As a result, these collaborations often have limited impact on graduate employability. This study analyzes how managerial functions—planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC)—shape the effectiveness and sustainability of school–industry partnerships in Indonesia and proposes an adaptive partnership management model. This research employed a qualitative comparative multi-site design involving two private vocational schools in Mojokerto, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 27 key informants, supported by alumni data (n=87), participatory observations, and document analysis. Data validity was ensured through source and methodological triangulation. The findings reveal two partnership archetypes: (1) the Gradual Collaborative Model, characterized by value-based planning, formal structures, and institutionalized governance; and (2) the Adaptive Operational Model, which demonstrates strong operational flexibility but limited strategic documentation. Based on these findings, the study proposes an Adaptive-Strategic Partnership Model that integrates POAC managerial functions, collaborative governance principles, and outcome-based evaluation within a dynamic partnership cycle. The novelty of this research lies in reconceptualizing classical management theory in the context of inter-organizational educational partnerships and proposing a tiered DUDI engagement typology as a strategic instrument for strengthening vocational education governance.
