Abstract

Indonesia has made substantial efforts to improve the quality of education by strengthening leadership, developing teacher competencies, and creating supportive school environments. However, gaps in school performance persist, particularly in vocational schools located in developing areas. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of education quality by examining the influence of principal leadership, teacher competency, and school well-being in vocational high schools in Merlung Regency, Jambi Province. By using a quantitative design, the data were collected from 40 teachers through a validated questionnaire that measured the role of the principal, teacher competency, school well-being, and education quality based on national education standards. The data was analyzed using SPSS 25 to find descriptive statistics, classical assumption testing, multiple regression, and analysis of determination. The results indicated that all three variables: principal leadership, teacher competency, and school well-being jointly have a significant simultaneous effect on education quality (F = 3.037, Sig. = 0.041). However, a partial t-test indicated no significant individual effect of each variable on education quality. The coefficient of determination indicated that 20.2% of the variance in educational quality is explained by the combined predictors. This finding suggested that while leadership, teacher competency, and school well-being collectively contribute to school quality, none of the three independently demonstrated strong predictive power, likely due to limited optimization of leadership practices, inadequate teacher development, and inconsistencies in school well-being. This study highlighted the need for more responsive leadership, continuous professional development, and a stronger emphasis on creating a supportive school climate to improve the overall quality of vocational education.

Abstract

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a strategic indicator that reflects the quality of life, achievements of society, particularly in the domains of education and economy. This study aims to analyze the contribution of educational and economic factors to the variation in HDI scores across districts and municipalities in East Java Province. A quantitative approach was employed using multiple linear regression analysis. The independent variables include the number of senior high schools, the student–teacher ratio in senior high schools, the Net Enrollment Rate (NER) at the senior high school level, the poverty rate, and per capita expenditure. The dependent variable is the Human Development Index (HDI). Data were obtained from the 2023 publication of Statistics Indonesia (BPS), covering 38 districts/municipalities in East Java Province. The results indicate that the educational and economic factors significantly contributing to HDI are the NER, poverty rate, and per capita expenditure, while the number of senior high schools and student–teacher ratio show no significant contribution. The regression model strongly explains the proportion of HDI variance with a high R-square value, making it a reliable basis for formulating regional development policies. This study underscores that interventions aimed at improving educational attainment and strengthening the local economy are key strategies for accelerating human development in East Java. Although the multiple linear regression model used in this study shows strong explanatory power in identifying the educational and economic determinants of HDI across districts and cities in East Java, this model assumes independence between observation units and still cannot explain other indicators that influence HDI in detail. Therefore, future research on HDI indicators could utilise a multilevel or linear mixed modelling framework to achieve a more robust analytical level that could assist policymakers in formulating policies.
