SIMDIK Workflow and Responsibilities
The flow of data and division of responsibilities within SIMDIK are organized hierarchically. At the base level, daily data such as attendance, grades, and finances are collected by school staff. At the next level, this information is processed into concise reports. At the strategic level, educational leaders use these reports to design long-term plans and evaluate policies. The use of national digital platforms illustrates how this model works: systematically presented data enables decision-makers to craft policies more quickly, precisely, and transparently (Fatoni, 2023; DetikEdu, 2024).
A New Direction for Educational Governance
SIMDIK is not merely a record-keeping tool but a vehicle for transforming educational governance. With its clear features, comprehensive supporting pillars, and structured workflow, schools and madrasahs can maximize data use, turning it into strategic information that underpins transparent, accountable, and fair policies.
