The OMBUDSMAN SUPERVISION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HIGH SCHOOL PPDB: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN PALEMBANG CITY

Abstract

This research examines the maladministration actions of the Penerimaan Peserta Didik Baru (PPDB) carried out by education organizers, namely the Palembang City Education and Culture Office together with the 2024 New Learner Admission Organizing Committee and the school. This research uses descriptive research methods that use a qualitative approach and data collection methods through literature review by comparing problems from several journals. The results of the research we found that maladministration actions in the PPDB of high schools in Palembang in 2024 clearly contradict the principles of good governance. In resolving this case, the ombudsman proposed four recommendations to deal with the problem of Penerimaan Peserta Didik Baru (PPDB) carried out by education organizers. It is also concluded that the role of the Ombudsman's recommendations is not legally binding, which can be implemented, but can also not be implemented.
