Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigates the declining performance of school education quality report cards in Merangin district, a critical issue that demands immediate attention. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research focuses on understanding the underlying meanings and processes rather than numerical data. Data were gathered through observations, documentation, and unstructured interviews with informed sources. The findings highlight significant challenges in the district’s education quality, as discussed by the head of the Merangin district education office during a coordination meeting with junior high school principals. The study reveals that the quality of school report cards has deteriorated, reflecting broader issues in educational management and effectiveness. These insights are intended to assist school principals and administrators in addressing management deficiencies and enhancing educational practices. The research offers actionable recommendations for improving school management and report card quality, providing valuable guidance for future educational reforms in the district. The results aim to serve as a resource for all stakeholders involved in improving education and management practices in Merangin district.
