This edition of KILAS PENDIDIKAN highlights the practice of standards-based education in Indonesia. The study is driven by various challenges encountered during the implementation of the National Education Standards (Standar Nasional Pendidikan/SNP), which have resulted in the SNP not yet functioning optimally as a mechanism for quality assurance in Indonesian education.
