The implementation of Zoning-Based Student Admissions (PPDB Zonasi) at SMA Negeri 3 Malang significantly impacts four educational participant quadrants: school management, teachers, students, and parents. This policy challenges and opportunities across educational, economic, and sociocultural aspects. School management must adapt policies, emphasizing character building and academic mentoring programs. Teachers face diverse academic competencies, requiring personalized and reward-based approaches. Students experience increased academic competition and sociocultural diversity, necessitating adaptation and support. Parents benefit from reduced transport costs but face financial and social concerns. Overall, a holistic, adaptive approach is essential to ensure equitable, quality education for all students.
