Implementation Of PPDB Zoning Policy At Junior High School Level In Surabaya City, Tambaksari District, Surabaya (Case Study Of Smpn 9 Surabaya) Renata Dini Putri Aulia1, Weni Rosdiana2*, Icha Zalyanti Fandika Putri3, Filda Putri Alis4, Niken Ade Herlina5, Minar Dita Lestari6 123456 Bachelor of Applied Public Administration, Faculty of Vocational Studies, Surabaya State University, Indonesia *[wenirosdiana@unesa.ac.id](wenirosdiana@unesa.ac.id) Abstract. The zoning policy is an effort by the government to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. However, the implementation of the zoning-based New Learner Admission (PPDB) policy has not accommodated all elementary school graduates in the region. This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of the zoning PPDB policy at the junior high school level in Tambaksari District, Surabaya. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, collecting data through interviews and document analysis. The research focuses on six variables: policy standards and objectives, resources, social, economic, and political conditions, characteristics of policy implementers, attitudes of implementers, and inter-organizational communication and related activities. The results, based on Van Meter and Van Horn’s theory, indicate that the policy’s standards and targets do not align with the zoning PPDB goals. Dispendik’s resources are adequate, but SMPN 9 Surabaya and student parents face difficulties as not all prospective students are accommodated. The implementers’ characteristics show positive results, while the attitude variable indicates that Dispendik cannot provide adequate solutions. Inter-organizational communication is good, but social and economic conditions significantly impact students who fail to pass the zoning PPDB.

Introduction All individuals have the fundamental right to education, without exception. Everyone in the country has the right to a quality education without any form of discrimination. This is underpinned by Article 31 of the 1945 Constitution, which provides an opportunity for every Indonesian citizen to receive education and has a responsibility to finance it at least up to the basic education level. The state has the responsibility to protect, respect and ensure the fulfillment of the right to education, as well as oversee violations that occur in the field of education and follow up with legal force. However, in Indonesia there are still disparities in the education system and infrastructure © The Author(s) 2025 C. D. M. Putri et al.

Due to the importance of equalizing access and quality of education, the Government implemented an education zoning policy. Based on Permendikbud Number 44 of 2019 on the Admission of New Learners in Kindergartens, Elementary Schools, Junior High Schools, Senior High Schools, and Vocational High Schools, it is explained that PPDB registration is carried out through the following channels: a. zoning (at least 50%); b. affirmation (at least 15%); c. transfer of parents/guardians (at most 5%); and/or d. achievement (if there is still a remaining quota from the three previous channels) . The implementation of the education zoning policy is a new step in the Government's efforts to equalize access and quality of education. The zoning pathway refers to the PPDB registration method that is only available to prospective new students who live in the zoning area determined by the Regional Govern
