This research examines the inconsistencies in the provisions of Article 24 of Law Number 20 of 2003 on the National Education System and the implementation of Government Regulation Number 57 of 2021 concerning academic freedom and higher education autonomy. Despite the legal framework’s intent to promote academic freedom and autonomy, the absence of references to Article 24 in the preamble of the regulation creates disharmony, leading to legal uncertainty and confusion. The research aims to assess the legal impact of these inconsistencies on Indonesia’s national education policies and practices. Using a normative legal methodology, the study employs a legislative approach and analyzes the legal hierarchy to evaluate the alignment of laws and regulations. The analysis reveals that the failure to include Article 24 in the considerations of Government Regulation Number 57/2021 violates the principle of legal hierarchy and undermines the effectiveness of the law. This disharmony results in legal confusion, inconsistent law enforcement, inefficiency in policy implementation, and a potential decline in the quality of education. The study suggests several solutions, including judicial review, revision of laws, and improved harmonization strategies.
