THE PERFORMANCE OF MADRASAH ALIYAH PRINCIPALSIN LAMPUNG SELATAN REGENCY, INDONESIA

One of the problems within the reform era in Indonesia is the low quality of madrasa education, both in the process and outcomes. This study aims to determine the performance of the principals of madrasa in the development, implementation of managerial tasks, entrepreneurship development, and supervision of teachers and staff in the South Lampung Regency. This study uses the qualitative descriptive approach. The data has been collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The sources of data are the principals, vice-principals, teachers, and staff. The results of this study indicate that, first, the public madrasah development efforts in South Lampung Regency are carried out through the principals' planning by making annual activity plans at the beginning of each academic year. Second, implementing the managerial duties of the madrasah principal is carried out by making a time schedule. Third, through company visits, entrepreneurship development is carried out through study tours where the students are introduced to produce and market their products. This activity also aims to introduce students to career possibilities according to their aspirations. The supervision of teachers and education staff has been running well, although many teachers are not very good at learning media.
