Secara paradoks kebijakan desentralisasi dapat meningkatkan partisipasi, dan efektivitas layanan pendidikan, akan tetapi dalam konteks kebijakan publik ternyata juga dapat menyebabkan disparitas pendidikan di masyarakat. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menjelaskan disparitas pendidikan dalam perspektif kebijakan desentralisasi sebagai bagian dari masalah publik. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif interaktif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, studi dokumen dan wawancara mendalam dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis data spradley. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan pendidikan di daerah ternyata tidak menciptakan keseimbangan melainkan membuka ruang terjadinya disparitas pendidikan di masyarakat, melalui pola kebijakan pendekatan spasial dan pendekatan struktural. Dinamika proses kebijakan pendidikan tercermin pada kontestasi elit struktural dan elit politik yang cenderung mengganggu efisiensi, efektivitas dan profesionalisme pengelolaan pendidikan. Pemerintah daerah sering kali terjebak pada kepentingan politik dan senantiasa menempatkan “elite capture” dalam pengambilan keputusan. Sehingga membatasi ruang gerak partisipasi masyarakat dan membuka ruang disparitas pendidikan antara daerah sentra dan daerah pinggiran.

Educational disparity is a public issue that continues to be an endless subject matter of discourse due to the highly centralistic process of education policy in the government bureaucracy. This research aims to understand the pattern of educational disparity occurring in the islands of Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The role of political actors in the success of education policy is a vital element in the policy process, and this is apparent in the significance of the political aspect in the education policy process, which emphasizes more on political approaches rather than actual social, economic, and geographical conditions. This study was conducted using the descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques that included observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis in Buton and South Buton Regencies. Study results indicate that the education policy pattern developing in island regions is inclined to using the spatial approach with a central area priority scale, and the structural elite approach, which is political lobbying employed by structural elites (school principals) targeting education bureaucracy in the region. The education policy pattern developing in the region actually has an impact on educational disparity in the public, both at the district and regency levels. In general, the education decentralization policy has yet to run optimally on account of educational resources in the region being distributed by using the spatial and structural elite approaches which have, consequently, created a pathological behavior in the education bureaucracy that is chockfull of vested interests.

Informants in this study amounted to 9 people consisting of 8 school elements, 1 supervisor element selected by using purposive sampling technique. The data collected was then analyzed descriptively to obtain an overview of Supervisory Management and School Performance through Teacher Performance and Principal Performance. The results showed that the supervisory management carried out by SMAN 2 Kulisusu supervisors in improving school performance at SMAN 2 Kulisusu had not run optimally due to limited facilities and infrastructure that were not in accordance with needs, as well as limited operational budget supervision which led to revision activities to improve program actualization results. control cannot be carried out. In addition, the supervision stage also does not run optimally, especially at the implementation stage of supervision due to the low understanding of teachers on textual supervisor instructions and the low intensity of supervisory meetings with school principals.
