Permasalahan tersebut meliputi jumlah guru yang belum memadai dan komitmen kerja mereka  yang rendah, sekolah pinggiran dan semi kota masih terkendala pada sarana dan prasarana yang belum memadai, dan pendanaan pendidikan yang belum mencukupi di tiap sekolah.


Education plays an important role for the economic evolution and social development of a nation. This study aims to explore efforts to improve the quality of education in junior high schools and the problems they faced. This study applied a qualitative approach with a multi-case strategy. The research took place in three junior high schools in Tana Toraja Regency, Sulawesi, Indonesia. They were in different areas which are suburb, semi-city and city. Data collection was carried out by semi-structured in-depth interviews with school principals and teachers. Technical triangulation, which is unstructured observation and member checks, was used to validate the collected data. The results showed that the three schools were trying to improve the quality of their education. The quality targets to be improved or achieved were different between schools. However, they face problems in achieving the targeted quality. These problems include the inadequate number of teachers and their low work commitment, suburban and semi-urban schools that have inadequate facilities and infrastructure, and insufficient educational tests in schools.
