Why should decentralization of education? Various studies on desentalisasi show that the work is complex, worked in teams, contain elements of uncertainty, and are in a rapidly changing environment can not be managed centrally. Education and more specifically the school that had been managed in a centralized actually cause more problems. So the schools that have such characteristics must be decentralized. One model of education decentralization is a School-Based Management (School-Based Management).

Many experts and observers of education to contribute his thoughts to assess the model SCHOOL BASED MANAGEMENT matching the condition of this country. Yet rarely are raised the question of content (content) that no other is the nature of decentralization itself. The essence of decentralization of education is "what and to whom" (what and to whom) and not its rules (regulation).

Educational reform in many countries began in the 1980s. Many schools in the United States, Canada and Australia are successfully applied to the model of education decentralization SCHOOL BASED MANAGEMENT. SCHOOL BASED MANAGEMENT Malalui school has the authority in decisions directly related to the needs of the school.

SCHOOL BASED MANAGEMENT With the school principal elements (Constituent) holds greater control at every event at school. Elements of this school principal who later became non-structural institution called the school board whose members consist of teachers, principals, administrators, parents, community members and students.

Decentralization Itself

According Wohlstetter and Mohrman (1993) there are four resources that should be devolved is power / authority, knowledge, information and rewards. First, power / authority (power / authority) should be devolved to schools directly through the school board. At least on three important areas of budget, personnel and curriculum. Included in this authority is concerned the appointment and pemperhentian principals, teachers and school staff.

Second, knowledge (knowledge) should also be decentralized so that human resources in schools are able to contribute significantly to the performance of schools. Knowledge that need to be decentralized include: skills directly related to employment (job skills), group skills (teamwork skills) and organizational knowledge (organizational knowledge).Group skills such as problem solving, decision making and communication skills.Included in the organizational knowledge is the understanding and strategies to respond to changing environments.

Third, another nature which must didensentralisasikan is information (information). In the centralized model of information possessed only by top management, then the model SCHOOL BASED MANAGEMENT Constituent shall be distributed to all schools and even to all stakeholders. What needs to be disseminated? Which include vision, mission, strategy, objectives and goals for the school, financial and cost structure, issues around the school, school performance and its customers. Dissemination of information can be vertically and horizontally either by face to face and written.

Fourth, pengaharhaan (reward) is another important thing that must be decentralized.The award can be either physical or non-physical which are all based on work performance. The award can be either physical gifts such as money. The award of non-physical form of promotion, continuing education, seminars or conferences and upgrading.

By decentralizing the four fields is expected SCHOOL BASED MANAGEMENT The main objective will be achieved. SCHOOL BASED MANAGEMENT The main objective is none other than improving school performance and in particular improve the performance of students learning to be better
