Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh capaian Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM) Kota Banda Aceh yang tertinggi di Provinsi Aceh, khususnya pada dimensi pendidikan yang diukur melalui indikator Harapan Lama Sekolah (HLS) dan Rata-rata Lama Sekolah (RLS). Capaian tersebut berkaitan dengan penyelenggaraan pendidikan yang melibatkan peran Dinas Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Kota Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran Dinas Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Kota Banda Aceh dalam mendukung capaian HLS dan RLS serta mengidentifikasi hambatan yang dihadapi. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori peran pemerintah menurut Ryaas Rasyid yang meliputi peran sebagai regulator, dinamisator, dan fasilitator. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara dan dokumentasi terhadap informan dari Dinas Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Kota Banda Aceh, BAPPEDA, satuan pendidikan, dan lembaga masyarakat. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Dinas Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Kota Banda Aceh menjalankan peran sebagai regulator melalui penetapan kebijakan penyelenggaraan pendidikan, sebagai dinamisator melalui pembinaan dan koordinasi dengan berbagai pihak, serta sebagai fasilitator melalui penyediaan dukungan pendidikan. Pelaksanaan peran tersebut masih menghadapi hambatan berupa keterbatasan identifikasi Anak Tidak Sekolah (ATS), kondisi ekonomi dan keluarga peserta didik, serta keterbatasan anggaran dalam pemenuhan sarana dan prasarana pendidikan.

This study was motivated by the achievement of the Human Development Index (HDI) of Banda Aceh City, which is the highest in Aceh Province, particularly in the education dimension measured by the Expected Years of Schooling (EYS) and Mean Years of Schooling (MYS) indicators. This achievement is closely related to the implementation of education involving the role of the Banda Aceh City Department of Education and Culture. This study aims to analyze the role of the Banda Aceh City Department of Education and Culture in supporting the achievement of EYS and MYS and to identify the obstacles encountered in carrying out this role. This study employs Ryaas Rasyid's government role theory, which consists of the roles of regulator, dynamizer, and facilitator. A qualitative approach with a descriptive research design was employed. Data were collected through interviews and documentation involving informants from the Banda Aceh City Department of Education and Culture, the Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA), educational institutions, and community organizations. Data were analyzed through the processes of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Banda Aceh City Department of Education and Culture performs its role as a regulator through the formulation of educational policies, as a dynamizer through guidance and coordination with various stakeholders, and as a facilitator through the provision of educational support. The implementation of these roles is constrained by difficulties in identifying Out-of-School Children (OSC), the economic and family conditions of students, and budget limitations in providing educational facilities and infrastructure.
