Abstract
School admission is a very important process in improving the education quality. Meanwhile, one problem in the school admission system is the mismatch. There are unassigned applicants and unallocated seats. In Indonesia, zone-based model is adopted in the public-school admission system. Students are assigned to their nearest school. Besides location, student’s academic performance and economic level are also concerned. Based on it, this work proposes coordinated public school admission model that accommodates flexible number of the concerned parameters. It is built based on the stable marriage algorithm or the deferred-acceptance algorithm as its derivative. The proposed model is a combination between the mandatory approach and the school choice approach. The concerned parameters are school-home distance, student national exam score, school rank, applicant poor status, and applicant’s preference. The simulation is conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed model compared with the previous models: the zone-based model and the two-step model. The prioritization of the concerned parameters is proven easily adjusted. The simulation result shows that in the over-demand condition, the proposed model creates higher average student national exam score and higher average school-home distance rather than the previous models. When the number of applicants is twice of the number of seats, the proposed model creates 6.6 percent higher in the average student national exam score and 71.4 percent higher in the average school-home distance. The simulation result also shows that the mismatch is solved.
Highlights
School admission system is an important system in the school management system [1]
In the over-demand condition, the school admission plays as selection or sorting mechanism so that the preferred applicants are accepted while the others are rejected [2]
A coordinated stable marriage-based student admission model has been developed and it accommodates multi concerned parameters in both schools and applicants. This model has been implemented in the student admission simulation so that its performance can be analysed and compared with the previous models
Summary
School admission system is an important system in the school management system [1]. The role of school admission system is allocating the available seats to the appropriate applicants. In the over-demand condition, the school admission plays as selection or sorting mechanism so that the preferred applicants are accepted while the others are rejected [2]. The problem becomes more complicated in the publicschool admission system. The public-school admission system is usually coordinated by the local government due to its responsibility in managing them [1]. The most common problem in this admission system is the mismatch between the schools and the applicants. There is possibility where there are unallocated seats in several schools in one side, and unassigned applicants in another side
