This study aims to know the implementation of school-based management in the eastern area of Indonesia. The researched areas consist of 10 provinces and 35 respondents (the principals of primary schools). The research sample was determined by using a stratified random sampling technique with representatives from regencies/cities in each province in the eastern area of Indonesia. The data analysis was done descriptively through collecting, arranging, organising, synthesising, presenting and analysing the numerical data. The research results showed that the most compelling indicators of the opportunity to implement school-based management in the eastern area of Indonesia are policy type, policy impact, transparency, task division, policy substance, school independence, the improvement of school quality, policy scope, policy implementation and teacher guiding. The indicators that should be improved are planning, program evaluation, reporting, time suitability, time benefits, utilisation, organising, procurement, people's participation, decision making, accountability and teacher quality. The indicators that should be restored due to their low quality are the assessment of teachers' performance, supervision, the number of teachers, time efficiency, cost efficiency, time allocation, cost sources, cost types and cost-effectiveness. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
