1 Introduction

The increasing expansion of access to education in Indonesia in 2015 can be seen from

the achievment of the Gross Enroolment Rate (APK) and the Pure Participant Rate

(APM) of education. The gross enrollment rate (APK) for elementary school level

reaches 115.88 % and the pure participation rate (APM) reaches 95.71%. While the

APK for the Junior High School has reached 100.16% and the pure participation rate is

78.43%. APK Senior High School reached 78.19 % and the APM was 58.25% [1]

With this achievement, a shift in the priority of education development from expanding

access to education quality assurance in appropriate. The government, in the National

Medium – Term Development Plan (RPJM) in 2015 – 2019, has also placed education

quality assurance as an advanced stage of education development. [2]. This is also

related to the still many problems in the quality of education in Indonesia, namely the

low quality of education in various types and levels of education in Indonesia, namely

the low quality of education in various types and levels of education in Indonesia in

accordance with the results of the ranking conducted by the Worldwide Educating for

the Future Index (WEFFI) on March 12, 2019. Which places Indonesia at number 43

of the 50 countries participating in a country’s education research [3].

Various efforts that have been carried out by the government in improving the

quality of education, namely increasing the education budget in the form of School

Operasional Assistance (BOS), procurement of certification programs and teacher

training on an ongoing basis, providing various facilities, are still not considered to be

significantly optimal in improving the quality of education. One reason is that is a

program carried out by an external school. This situation was felt to be less effective

because it did not fundamentally become a casual factor in the problem of the quality

of education in the education unit. It is realized that on the contrary if it is done by an

internal party, it is expected to be able to solve the problem because it already knows

consciously the problem. Apart from this, the quality of learning and managerial

schools at the level of planning implementation and control is one of the factors causing

the low quality of education [4].

The policy of implementing quality assurance of education units in Indonesia began

with the issuance of Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System

[5]. Reinforced with the issuance of government regulation No. 19 of 2005 concerning

National Education Standards and National Education Minister Regulation No. 63 0f

2009 concerning Education Quality Assurance Systems. This effort was subsequently

implemented by the government into the education quality assurance system (SPMP).

In accordance with regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 63 Year

2009 article 1 paragraph 3 which states that The Education Quality Assurance System,

hereinafter referred to as SPMP is a subsystem of the National Education System whose

main function is to increase quality of education “. For this reason, we need a standard

that ensures the quality of education is in accordance with the size of the so called

National Education Standards (SNP). SNP fungtions to assurance the quality of national

education in the context of educating the nations’s life and forming the dignified

character and civilization of the nation [6].

Graduates Competency Standards are a set of graduate competencies that are

standardized and realized with student learning outcomes [7]. Graduates Competency

standards are the main standards in 8 National Education Standards as a form of student

output in the form of attitudes, knowledge and skills expected from an education unit

graduate written in article 35 of law number 20 year 2003. Graduates competency

standards can be used as tangible evidence of achieving a quality education level is in

which level. This standard is also used as a basis for assessing and monitoring students

progress and learning outcomes [8].

Public Junior High School 1 Medan City is one of the public schools that has

implemented an internal quality assurance system. Based on preliminary observations,

this school is able to carry out scholl quality assurance well. This can be seen by the

high interest of prospective applicants in an amount that exceeds the quota. Applicants

at Public Junior High School 1 Medan City can reach 600 students each year even

that is often used as a mode school in several new policies of the central government

and in Medan due to having good managerial skills.

2 Literature

Elementary and secondary Education Qualaity Assurance System is a unitary element

consisting of an integrated organization, policy and process that regulates all activities

to improve the quality of elementary and secondary education systematically, planned

and continously [9]. Whereas the internal quality assurances system is aquality

assurance system implemented in the education unit and carried out by all components

of the education unit [10].

Mapping the quality of education carried out by education units based on the

National Education Standards. The eight education standards form a series of inputs,

processes and outputs. Graduate Competency Standards (SKL) are output in National

Education Standards. Graduate competency standards will achieve a high score if the

input is fully met and the process goes well [11]. This internal quality assurance system

is implemented in primary and secondary education units by following a cycle. The

cycle consists of quality mapping, compilation of compliance plans, implementation of

fulfillment plants, evaluation / audit of execution plans, and determination of quality

standard [12].

In implementing the mapping of the quality of education units can be carried out by

conducting school self evaluations. School self evaluation is carried out with several

stages namely; (1) Arrangements of instruments (2) data collection (3) data processing

and analysis. (5) making quality maps. The resultss of research in the application in the

application of school self evaluation (EDS) show that the obstacles faced by schools

include aspects of concepts, instruments, infrastructure, human resources, and

administration [13]. These constraits arise as a result of not being properly socialized,

lack of school commitment, and lack of cooperation between various staheholders.

Apart from that what can be improved and corrected is that the culture of school self

evaluation has not been created, the book is less flexible, instruments are not

appropriate to the conditions, data analysis does not pay attention to the importance of

each component and the analysis guide is not accompanied by solutions [14].

The internal driving factors of EDS are Human Resources, coordination between

school members, externally support from the government and motivation from

educational quality assurance agencies. The internal inhibiting factors of EDS are

instrumen saturation, lack of teacher understanding, short time, externally changes in

EDS systems and instrumens and the number of questions on the instrument [15]. While

tehe impact of the application of EDS, among others facilitate schools in making RKS/

RKASand make it easier for school to identify shortcomings, strengths of school

performance. The benefit of EDS is that schools can have basic data to develop and

improve quality in the future [16].

The Ministry of National Education revealed three indicators used as indicators in

the implementation of SPMI, namely output, results and impact indicators.

Furthermore, documents needed in SPMI include SPMI policy documents, SPMI

manual documents, SPMI manual documents, standard documents in SPMI form

documents used in SPMI, and other supporting documents.

Components that affect the quality of the process and educational outcomes are the

input components, processes, outputs and impacts, As for the factors included in : (1)

Input components namely basic inputs and supporting resources; (2) process

components, namely the use of inputs and climate or atmosphere; (3) outputs, namely:
