Abstract

This research was conducted in Deli Serdang Regency, with the aim of obtaining an overview of the problems in the Fiscal Decentralization Policy and Public Services in the Education Sector. How is the Education Service in Deli Serdang Regency? Are Education Services related to Deli Serdang Regency Government Education Expenditures? The research paradigm used is the Constructivist Paradigm, with Qualitative Research Methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, discussions with several district informants, DPRD, sub-district, schools (SD, SMP), and community leaders. In addition, data were also collected through literature study, document study, and secondary data. The results of this study can be concluded, as follows: First, that Public Perception of Services in the Education Sector in Deli Serdang Regency is still bad; Second, mandatory spending on education spending is still focused on education personnel (teachers), not much for infrastructure spending (physical/building), as well as for increasing the NER (pure participation rate). Based on Bartley and McLoughlin (2015), "Political incentives to provide increase where services offer..." "High visibility: outputs are physically visible or problem has high public profile." physically visible to the public. For the Government, measurable output will facilitate control and encourage greater spending allocations. Physical school buildings (SD, SMP) in the Regency are a service sector with measurable output (measured), and easy to see by the community (high visibility). In addition, the development of education infrastructure (SD, SMP) is still a concern of the Government, so that it will encourage an increase in the allocation of spending on education infrastructure.
