| dc.description.abstract | "Educarion for All" (EFA) in Indonesia
has nor brought significanr benefirs
particularly for rcligion-based, privare
schools. EFA policy is supposed ro
enhance the performance of both srare
and privare schools. The private schools
are generally described eirher as high\,
elirist and mrgeted for the well-offgroup
on the one hand, or poorly managed,
housed in dilapidared buildings, and
mughr by poorly prepared reachers,
on the other hand. However, mosr of
privare schools experience inequaliry. Ir
is shown from low curriculum quaiiry
lack oF budget, insufficienr school
equipment, and low studenr inrerest
on private schools. This paper alms 6rsr
to investigate the private schools from
participarory leadership, curriculum,
srudents' result, budger provision in
educadon for all. The data garhered
from 92 schools in the provinces o[
Yogyakarta and Central Java suggest
that the majoriry of rhese schools are
stifled with unfriendly policies issued
by national and local aurhorides. This
research used mixed methods to tap
into borh quantitarive and qualitarive
Cara. This research concludes thar
onlv very few schools do thrive rhanks
their uniquely strong school culrure
of excellence and parricular leadership
of rheir school principals. It is rhus
highly recommended for policy makerr,
mosrly ar rhe local levels, ro sensitize
themselves to dynamical[y complex
challenges encountered by private
schools in implemenring "education for
all". | en_US |
