The Role of Government Institutions and Society in Improving the Quality of Education

Education is a key factor in the progress of a nation; however, improving the quality of education in Indonesia still faces various challenges, such as disparities in access, teaching quality, and limited infrastructure. Therefore, collaboration between the government and society is crucial to achieving better and more equitable education quality. This study aims to analyze the roles of the government and society in improving the quality of education, based on existing literature. The method used in this research is library research, gathering data from books, academic journals, education policies, and reports from relevant institutions. The findings show that the government plays a significant role in providing education policies, managing budgets, and training educators. Meanwhile, society also plays an equally important role, particularly in the form of active participation through financial support, strengthening the role of school committees, and collaboration in the learning process. The synergy between the government and society has proven to enhance access to education, the quality of learning, and oversight of the implementation of education policies. These findings suggest that a closer collaboration between the government and society can accelerate the realization of more equitable and quality education in Indonesia.
