Non-formal Education Practitioners Facing Changes in the Organizational Structure of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia in 2020

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to find out the response behind the policy implementation carried out by the government. The policy referred to is the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 9 of 2020. This article is the result of research conducted. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach. The design used is a case study. Some data on the opinions of non-formal education managers in Padang were obtained through distributed questionnaires. Several other data were obtained through interviews with informants. The results of this study indicate that education practitioners in Padang are not ready and do not support policy implementation. The reason behind the response is practitioners' distrust of the changes planned by the government. Managers are pessimistic about the successful implementation of this policy. This happens because every policy change that has existed so far has had no significant impact.
