STRATEGI PENGEMBANGAN LEMBAGA PENDIDIKAN KEJURUAN (LPK) DI MASYARAKAT
Abstract: Secondary school
graduates need vocational training institutions Because of the socioeconomic
benefits they will get after graduating from the institutions. They will get
more benefits from the institutionsif the management of the institutions is
decentralistically improved. The aim of a research this article is about was
identifying the need to improve the vocational training institutions which are decentralistically
managed. The result of the research can be used todetermine a strategy to
develop and to certify vocational traininginstitutions. The result ofthe
research shows that vocational traininginstitutions, even with the decreasing
numbersof their students, are still needed by society. These institutions also
give benefits as units of non-formal education offering various training
programs. Although generally their organization is small in scale, their autonomy
is great. The efficiency and effectivenessof their use of the infrastructure is
good. Some of the institutions are tied to the national curriculum, their
license to operate, the national examination, graduation standards, and
certifications. To develop the
institutions, wider authority is needed to manage the institutions decentralistically,
particularly in relation to aspectsof program development, the curriculum,
their license, the national examination, graduate standards, and their
authority to issue certificates based on the accreditation of the institutions.
In order to implement suchdevelopment, a strategy of development and
certification as a form of infrastructure investment and program development is
needed.They can go through their development and certification well by providing
representative buildings, educational programs which are 'sold OUt', and
professional management employing quality managemen
