Abstract

Reputable educational institutions are expected to comply with established national standards of education. This study aimed to analyze the fulfillment of the eight National Standards for Early Childhood Education in Malaka Regency and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing their implementation. A qualitative method of study was conducted to collect the data using observations, interviews, and documentation studies focusing on twelve educational institutions in Malaka Regency. The research findings indicate that there is only one institution met seven standards of education, one met six standards, one met two standards, one met one standard, and the remaining institutions did not meet most of those standards. The standard which was mostly fulfilled is the Standard Five, related to facilities and infrastructures, where all schools had supporting, albeit limited, facilities and infrastructures for learning. The lowest rate of the fulfilled standards was standard Six (Management), Standard Seven (Financing), and Standard Eight (Assessment). The study recommends that to improve compliance with these standards, interventions such as professional training, capacity building, and adjustments to institutional systems and policies are necessary. These efforts are crucial to support the development of high-quality ECE institutions in Malaka Regency that fully adhere to all eight national standards.
