Benchmarking Educational Policies to Reduce Teachers' Administrative Workload

Abstrak

This article aims to analyze the administrative workload experienced by teachers in Indonesia and identify solutions to alleviate this workload through a benchmarking approach from countries that have successfully addressed similar issues. The methodology employed is a systematic literature review, gathering and analyzing data from scholarly articles published between 2022 and 2024, focusing on policies aimed at reducing teachers' administrative workload. The findings indicate that identifying specific aspects of administrative workload, applying best practices from other countries, and evaluating the potential adaptation of foreign policy models can open opportunities for relevant policy reform. Furthermore, the implementation of sustainable solutions, such as reducing administrative tasks, utilizing technology, and enhancing administrative support, is expected to create a better working environment for teachers. The significance of this research lies in its effort to provide new insights for policymakers in formulating educational policies that are more responsive to the needs of teachers and students.
