PERANAN MANAJEMEN STRATEGI DALAM PENYELENGGARAAN PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA

Global, regional, as well as local competitions demand all the agents of educational organizations should possess dynamic, critical, creative, and strategic conceptions responding the escalating challenges. On the other side, the process of conducting education in Indonesia nowadays is rightly tending to be static. It hasn't arrived at provisioning academic as well as administrative personnel who are capable of thinking and taking measures strategically or improving the organizations. The matters arising are that all the agents of previous educational organizations, particularly the state educational institution are still so dependent upon government subsidy that they ignore exercising the strategic management.
