Analisis Jenis dan Komponen Pembiayaan Pendidikan di SMK Miftahul Ulum Cimerak

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and components of educational financing at SMK Miftahul Ulum Cimerak. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that educational financing at the school includes direct costs such as tuition fees, practical tools, and teachers' salaries; as well as indirect costs such as boarding students' living expenses. Furthermore, financing is categorized into private and social costs, monetary and non-monetary costs, as well as recurrent and capital expenditures. The main funding components include teacher salaries (mostly from government BOS funds), learning materials, facility maintenance, student subsidies, and administrative costs. The study also finds that there is no financial support for research activities at the vocational high school level, unlike in higher education institutions. These findings highlight the importance of efficient financial management and multi-stakeholder collaboration to sustain vocational education quality.
