Abstract

The implementation of the zoning system in the admission of new students
raises various problems. The zoning system is regulated by the Ministry of
Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia in the Regulation of the
Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2021
concerning Admission of New Learners in Kindergartens, Elementary Schools,
Junior High Schools, Senior High Schools, and Vocational High Schools, while in
Article 51 paragraph (1) of Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National
Education System it is stated that schools are given autonomy to manage their
schools. This autonomous right to schools is in the form of School-Based
Management principles to organize and manage their own education.
This thesis uses research with a type of normative research, namely
library research. In this research, the data sources used are secondary data
sources with primary legal materials of the Minister of Education Regulation
Number 1 of 2021 with Law Number 20 of 2003. The collection technique uses
documentation / literature study, namely analyzing and examining these primary
legal materials.
Minister of Education and Culture Regulation Number 1 of 2021 and Law
Number 20 of 2003 are considered to be out of sync. The incompatibility and
inconsistency of these regulations have caused various social and moral problems
that affect various elements, especially prospective students and their
parents/guardians. The zoning system policy implemented in the New Learner
Admission results in some people who want to impose their will because they have
certain perceptions, resulting in actions that are against the law, morals, social,
and religion. The purpose of the zoning system is very good to advance education
in Indonesia, but many aspects have not been fulfilled by the Government in
implementing this zoning system. Such as unequal access to education in
Indonesia, inequality of facilities and infrastructure in various schools, to the
uneven quality of teachers in each region.
