<![CDATA[The New Student Admissions System (Sistem Penerimaan Murid Baru / SPMB) is a public policy in education that aims to realize objective, transparent, accountable, equitable, and non-discriminatory educational services. This policy serves as a government instrument to regulate public access to educational units in accordance with statutory provisions. This article aims to analyze the SPMB policy, particularly the domicile or zoning pathway, the admission of teachers' children, and the affirmation pathway, as well as their implications for the equitable distribution of educational access at SDN Waringin Jaya 1. The method used is a descriptive qualitative research through literature review and policy analysis of official government regulations and documents. The results of the analysis indicate that the domicile pathway plays a role in bringing students closer to school, the affirmation pathway supports access to education for groups requiring protection, while the admission of teachers' children must follow applicable pathway provisions and cannot be considered an automatic privilege. The success of the policy depends on clarity of information, data accuracy, openness of the selection process, supervision, and evaluation. Therefore, SDN Waringin Jaya 1 needs to support the implementation of SPMB professionally, transparently, and oriented toward equalizing educational opportunities.]]>
