The development of educational policy acceptance model

Abstract

This study is to develop an education policy acceptance model. Policy implementers need to implement education policies in the best possible way. However, due to the uncertainty of such situations, health, politics, and natural disasters, have an impact on the implementation of education policy and the quality of education. Thus, there is a need to determine what indicators can prevent this uncertainty and accept education policies to be implemented smoothly to guarantee the sustainability of the quality of education. The fact is that the Malaysian Education Quality Standard (SKPM), which is entering the third wave (2021-2025), is the last phase of the Malaysian Education Development Plan (PPPM 2013-2025). This policy has been carefully drafted without expecting the Covid-19 pandemic to occur. The pandemic and post-pandemic have had an impact on national education. In the economic context of education, Malaysia's education sector spending is the highest among other ASEAN countries. The 2022 budget presented by the Minister of Finance shows the education sector continues to be prioritized, with the largest allocation to the Malaysian Ministry of Education (KPM), which is as much as RM52.6 billion or 16% of the total Federal expenditure. By knowing the acceptance indicators of education policy, even if there are challenges such as health, politics, and natural disasters, stakeholders can focus on indicators involved in adopting policies and preventing uncertainty in implementing educational policies.
