Abstract

Accreditation is a thorough evaluation process that assesses the qualifications of educational programs and units and ultimately results in the certification issued by independent and expert organizations. This study aims to investigate the current status of accreditation services, development, and implementation in elementary schools and their impact on the quality of education in the districts/cities of South Sulawesi. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, the researchers collected data through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. To ensure the objectivity and validity of the results, the study used three criteria: credibility, transferability, and confirmability. The accreditation evaluation was conducted based on the Minimum Service Standards outlined in Government Regulation No. 4 of 2022, which amends Government Regulation No. 57 of 2021 on National Education Standards. These standards define the minimum requirements for the education system across Indonesia and include eight areas: graduate competency, content, process, assessment, staff, facilities and infrastructure, management, and financing standards. However, due to uneven and suboptimal implementation, schools have not achieved the highest accreditation ratings.
