Analisis Komparatif Sistem Pendidikan Indonesia dan Singapura dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Pembelajaran

Learning quality is an essential indicator of the effectiveness of an education system in developing competent human resources capable of addressing global challenges. Indonesia and Singapore have different educational systems, particularly in curriculum policies, teacher professional development, assessment practices, and educational governance. This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences between the education systems of Indonesia and Singapore and identify their implications for improving learning quality in Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach using a comparative literature review. Data were collected from relevant scholarly articles, educational policy documents, and international assessment reports. The analysis followed four stages: description, interpretation, juxtaposition, and comparison. The findings indicate that Singapore demonstrates strengths in policy consistency, continuous teacher professional development, and assessment practices that support instructional improvement. Meanwhile, Indonesia offers curriculum flexibility through the Merdeka Curriculum, allowing teachers to adapt instruction to students' learning needs. However, challenges remain regarding educational resource distribution, teacher readiness, and policy implementation. The comparative findings suggest that improving learning quality requires integration among curriculum development, teacher professionalism, assessment, and educational governance. This study concludes that Singapore's educational practices can serve as references for Indonesia, provided they are adapted to its social, cultural, and geographical contexts.
