Analisis Pelaksanaan Administrasi Pendidikan dari Berbagai Bidang Manajemen Sekolah di SMP Negeri 18 Padang

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of educational administration across various school management areas at SMP Negeri 18 Padang, including curriculum administration, finance, facilities management, office administration, and student services. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that educational administration is generally implemented, particularly in curriculum and office administration. However, several weaknesses were identified, including manual-based recording systems for financial transactions, facility inventories, and student documentation. Additionally, the absence of written Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and limited digital administration systems contribute to administrative inefficiency. Based on these findings, administrative digitalization, staff competency development, and SOP development are required to improve the quality, accountability, and efficiency of school administration.
