Pendidikan merupakan salah satu sektor penting dalam pembangunan sumber daya manusia di Indonesia khususnya di Provinsi Aceh. Meskipun berbagai upaya telah dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan, Aceh masih menghadapi tantangan besar terkait keterbatasan fasilitas, ketimpangan distribusi guru, dan kesenjangan pendidikan antarwilayah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kinerja Dinas Pendidikan Aceh dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan, dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi yang melibatkan berbagai pihak terkait. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teori SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) menurut Fajar Nur’aini dan landasan konseptual yang digunakan ialah kinerja. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan analisis SWOT, upaya peningkatan kualitas pendidikan di Aceh sudah didukung oleh beberapa kekuatan seperti adanya komitmen pemerintah, kebijakan di bidang pendidikan serta berbagai langkah yang dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan. Namun dalam pelaksanaannya masih terdapat beberapa kelemahan di antaranya keterbatasan kemampuan tenaga pendidik serta penggunaan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran yang belum berjalan maksimal. Selain itu peluang yang ada seperti perkembangan teknologi dan dukungan dari program pendidikan nasional belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Sementara itu ancaman berupa kesenjangan kualitas pendidikan dan tuntutan perkembangan zaman masih menjadi tantangan yang perlu dihadapi. Selain itu hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan adanya beberapa kendala yang cukup berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan kualitas pendidikan yaitu keterbatasan anggaran, sumber daya manusia yang belum merata, keterbatasan fasilitas dan sarana pendukung pendidikan serta pelaksanaan kebijakan yang belum berjalan secara optimal di lapangan. Kondisi ini menyebabkan upaya peningkatan kualitas pendidikan belum terlaksana secara maksimal dan belum merata di seluruh wilayah. Maka dari itu, diperlukan upaya yang lebih terarah melalui peningkatan dan pemerataan tenaga pendidik, pemanfaatan teknologi, perbaikan sarana dan prasarana serta penguatan pelaksanaan kebijakan pendidikan agar lebih efektif dan merata.

Education is a crucial sector in human resource development in Indonesia, particularly in Aceh Province. Despite numerous efforts to improve the quality of education, Aceh still faces significant challenges related to limited facilities, unequal distribution of teachers, and inter-regional educational disparities. This study aims to analyze the performance of the Aceh Education Office in improving the quality of education, using a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving various stakeholders. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) theory by Fajar Nur'aini and a conceptual basis based on performance. The results of the study indicate that, based on the SWOT analysis, efforts to improve the quality of education in Aceh have been supported by several strengths, such as government commitment, education policies, and various steps taken to improve the quality of education. However, in its implementation, several weaknesses remain, including limited teaching staff capabilities and the suboptimal use of technology in the learning process. Furthermore, existing opportunities, such as technological developments and support from national education programs, have not been optimally utilized. Meanwhile, threats such as disparities in educational quality and the demands of modern developments remain challenges that must be addressed. Furthermore, research also indicates several significant obstacles hindering improvements in educational quality, including budget constraints, uneven distribution of human resources, limited educational facilities and support, and suboptimal policy implementation. These conditions have resulted in efforts to improve educational quality being under-implemented and unevenly distributed across all regions. Therefore, more targeted efforts are needed, including increasing and equalizing the distribution of teaching staff, utilizing technology, improving facilities and infrastructure, and strengthening the implementation of educational policies to ensure greater effectiveness and equity.
