MBS is a solution to improve the quality of education through the collaboration of all parties, from school principals, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders, infrastructure, and motivation, self-concept, interest and independence in learning. Thus, it will bring excellence in terms of planning, organizing, implementing to monitoring in the form of evaluation.

Salah satu solusinya ialah melalui Manajemen Berbasis Sekolah (MBS) sebagai pengelolaan sumber daya untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan. Sekolah diberi wewenang langsung terkait pelayanan di sekolah baik pelayanan secara internal maupun secara eksternal. Hal ini sejalan dengan kebijakan desentralisasi yang mendorong sekolah untuk mengambil keputusan secara transparan, akuntabel dan partisipatif dengan melibatkan warga sekolah seperti kepala sekolah, guru, siswa, orang tua dan masyarakat. MBS adalah solusi untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan melalui kerjasama semua pihak mulai dari kepala sekolah, guru, orangtua, dan stackholder lainnya, sarana prasarana, dan motivasi, konsep diri, minat serta kemandirian belajar. Dengan demikian, akan memunculkan keunggulan dalam hal perencanaan, pengorganisasian, pelaksanaan hingga monitoring berupa evaluasi.
