Education Policy Analysis Approach
The definition is categorized as decision-making, which is what the government chooses to do or not do to address a public problem.32 Rather than being seen as a single decision, policy should be seen as a series of more or less connected actions that have implications for everyone involved. Another description is when the government intervenes with its citizens to resolve social issues, which will lead to discussions between those who support and oppose the government's decision. The educational policy being investigated in this study is that of the head of the pesantren, or an analysis of micropolitics within the unit of Islamic educational institutions.
The second method is the process approach, which develops education policy gradually rather than abruptly. This method views education policy as a political process involving a number of steps, such as identifying education issues, formulating policy proposals, determining the viability of those proposals, and implementing and evaluating those policies. Third, group theory states that interaction within groups will lead to the optimal balance when it comes to education policy.
In line with this strategy, members of interest groups engage in official and informal direct communication and media interaction to urge the government to implement required policies. Fourth, there is the elitist method, in which the elites of the political system have great influence over and make decisions about education policy. As a result, education policy only reflects the aspirations of the elite and not those of the general public.
Fifth, a rational approach promotes the idea that government policies are the greatest societal benefit, meaning that government, as a policy maker, should choose policies that provide the greatest benefit to society.
