INTRODUCTION  
Admission of New Learners (AONL) by the government is addressed in its service system, it is 
all done as one as a driver of increased access in the education service environment. As is well 
known that AONL is one part of the mechanism of the education system held during the new 
school year, namely by holding new student admissions by education units regulated in 
accordance with applicable terms and conditions. According to an explanation from Lestari and 
Rosdiana (2017), which states that improvements to the national education system can be done 
through improving quality in general and thoroughly and specifically for schools to have 
equality of quality. 

In this regard, the government issued Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture 
(Permendikbud) Number 1 of 2021 concerning Admission of New Students at kindergarten, 
elementary, junior high, high school, and vocational schools. The content of Permendikbud is to 
set the registration path for AONL. Where it is explained that the AONL path includes: zoning, 
affirmations, transfer of parental or guardian duties, and achievements. High school level 
zoning lines are at least 50% of the school's tamping power. While the afirmai line is at least 
15% of the school's tamping power, and the path of transfer of parental or guardian duties is at 
most 5% of the school's tamping power, the remaining quota of the three lines of the Local 
Government can open the achievement path.

The AONL system from year to year has undergone changes, namely from the system 
using National Exam scores (NE) (re Indonesian: UN) changing using the zoning system. This is 
also experienced by the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya, where in AONL in the 
2018/2019 school also uses a zoning system, but previously in the 2017/2018 school year the 
AONL system still uses NE scores as its main condition, so NE grades are still used to find the 
next level of school. This makes, schools at that time accept students according to their abilities 
(Hariyati et al., 2019; Karmila et al., 2020; Purwanti et al., 2018; Wardhana & Supriyoko, 2019; 
Yuliani, 2021). There are several advantages to using NE scores as a reference in using this 
system, one of which is to make it easier for teachers to teach in class, because in one class 
students are considered to have abilities that are not much different so that teachers are not too 
difficult to explain (Lisman et al., 2021; Sukarno & Mustaqiem, 2019). While the negative impact 
is the gap between schools, this is because of the assumption of favorite schools and ordinary 
schools. This assumption makes one of the reasons for the government to implement AONL 
through the zoning system in the admission of students, with the hope that later there will be 
equalization and eliminate the image of favorite schools that have been attached to the 
community (Ali et al., 2019; Ibrahim et al., 2021; Rasinan, 2021). 

The admission system of new learners that we have known uses NE scores or by using 
landfill tests for regional schools, since 2018 has changed system only by using the right 
distance of residence or domicile as the main criteria in the admission of new students (Ali et 
al., 2019; Ariani, 2021; Cullinan et al., 2021; Sudarwan, 2021). The government changed the 
admission system of new students is expected to accelerate the equalization of quality 
education throughout the region. It is hoped that the school's approach to the residential 
environment makes equal access to services, the absence of exclusivity and discrimination of 
students in the school, and can be used to analyze the needs and distribution of teachers (Mok, 
2016). 

The results obtained after interviewing Usmani Haryono, as Waka Kesiswaan 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 explained that according to the 
President with the zoning system later can minimize gaps and eliminate the assumption 
(image) of favorite schools. As we have known together that a good school in Surabaya based 
on the assumption (image) of the community so far is a complex high school consisting of 1st, 
2nd, and 3rd State Senior High School. The existence of the zoning system is expected to be 
considered the same because it has the same SOP, the same teachers, and equal standards of 
quality of educational services (Putri & Meutia, 2021; Rusilowati & Wahyudi, 2020; Serdyukov, 
2017). 

10th State Senior High School of Surabaya in 2019 has implemented a AONL zoning system 
with a large quota of 100%. The pros and cons related to the policy that occurs at the 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya one is that the school must be willing to accept and cannot 
refuse students with low academic scores (Abidah et al., 2020; Prabawa-sear, 2018; Rahmawati 
& Budirahayu, 2021; Tanu & Parker, 2018). On the other hand, the school is required to be able 
to serve students at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya well. The reality that 
occurred at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya using the zoning system in 2019 can 
be seen that 25% of students admitted under the zoning system have low academics (low) with 
low economic conditions of parents of learners and the average educational background of 
parents of students is also low (parents of many learners who are only elementary school 
graduates).  

The Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 14 Th. 2018 explains the 
zoning system at AONL regarding the admission of new students at the kindergarten, 
elementary, junior high, high school, vocational and other equivalent levels (Datuk & Kupang, 
2020; Guru et al., 2019; Karmila et al., 2020; Pradewi et al., 2019; Supraptiyaningrum & 
Muzayanah, 2020). The regulation contains several things in the application of the local 
government must accept prospective students amounting to 90% of the total number of 
students in the school with the provision of domiciled in the radius of the nearest zone from the

school. Family Card issued no later than six months before the implementation of AONL. 
AoNL can be done in two ways, namely registering online through the official AONL page in 
their respective regions and registering by coming directly to the intended school. Offline 
registration is used for the achievement path of both value achievements and competition 
achievements (Art or Sports) (Zhang & Bray, 2020). The implementation process and AONL 
information must be disseminated openly both through the official admissions and liflet web 
and invitations to each school, the information includes the requirements, selection, capacity, 
and admission results of new learners at the school. 

The stages that need to be carried out in registering for AONL at the 10th State Senior High 
School of Surabaya include 1) junior high schools / equivalents can fill in the report card scores 
from semesters 1-5 to the rapor.AoNLjatim.net page online, 2) the report card value that has 
been filled out on the page is verified by prospective new students, 3) if an error is found when 
entering the report card value,  then improvements were made by the junior high school 
operator or equivalent to the principal on the AONL jatim report card page, 4) prospective 
students carry out pre-registration in order to obtain a PIN online, 5) the house point is 
determined using the Geolocation application by the student and the intended school operator 
to verify. 

AONL implementation regulations at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya related 
to the determination of the nearest domicile distance are regulated by the local government in 
this case the Surabaya city government, in addition to the provision of 90% for prospective 
learners whose closest domicile distance from the school, for the fulfillment of a ceiling that is 
10% fulfilled from the achievement path of a value of 5% where students who enter with the 
path do not have to be within one zone radius but can be outside the zone radius. The 5% is 
fulfilled from the path of transfer of parental duties or if the learner is affected by a natural / 
social disaster. New learners whose economic level cannot be called citizen partners and 
domiciles are in one area with accepted obligations and are not given the burden of education 
costs, the percentage of citizen partners received amounts to 20% of the number of students set 
by the school (Bridget et al., 2021; Dee & Murphy, 2019; Easterbrook et al., 2019; Steiner, 2018). 
This is what makes it. Based on the description that has been described above, it can be 
concluded that the school inevitably has to accept all learners with diverse backgrounds. 

Hence, the objectives of this research is to analyzing the AONL implementation regulations 
at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya related to the determination of the nearest 
domicile distance are regulated by the local government in this case the Surabaya city 
government.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 
Implementation of Zoning System Policy at 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya 
The implementation of high school zoning system policies at the 10th State Senior High School 
of Surabaya conducted in this study is measuring the success of policy implementation through 
six variables measuring the success of public policy implementation according to Van Meter 
and Van Horn (1975). The implementation of high school zoning system policies at the 10th 
State Senior High School of Surabaya conducted in this study is measuring the success of policy 
implementation through six variables measuring the success of public policy implementation 
according to Van Meter and Van Horn (1975). 

The results of the study obtained that the implementation of the high school zoning system 
policy at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya which was measured based on the 
theory of Van Metter Van Horn (1975), there are several variables that influence the 
implementation of the policy can be successful perfectly. The research results of each variable 
can be described as follows. 
a. Policy Size and Purpose 
Objectives that are accurately calculated will greatly support the successful implementation of 
activities, especially those that have long-term direction (Makmur, 2011). The purpose of the 
new student admission zoning policy at 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya is for the 
school to provide equality of education quality. The zoning policy is expected to improve the 
quality of education at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya. The implementation of 
zoning is expected to eliminate discrimination against schools so that the quality of education 
can be equalized and to make it easier for prospective learners to obtain educational services. So 
it is expected that prospective learners do not need to go far in getting a quality education. 

The implementation of the AONL zoning policy at the high school level, especially in the 
10th State Senior High School of Surabaya, has been implemented in accordance with the 
Regulation of the Governor of East Java. Registration through the achievement path is used as 
an alternative if prospective learners are not accepted through the zoning route. The 
achievement path is used for prospective learners who have achievements in academic and 
non-academic fields. In addition, there is also an affirmation path intended for prospective 
learners who are less able or have special needs. The implementation of AONL conducted at the 
10th State Senior High School of Surabaya both online and offline has been implemented well 
although it has not been maximized. 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya applies 2 ways 
in accepting new students based on Governor Regulation No. 23 of 2019, which can be seen 
from the following table along with the number of students who apply. Registrants at 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya in 2019 as many as 843 with details of the path used online (in 
the network) as many as 800 registrants and Offline (outside the network) as many as 43 
registrants. 

The policy of the zoning system, which is re-regulated according to local regulations, is 
applied to non-vocational high schools. This regulation regulates many students who can 
receive schools according to predetermined quotas. The following is a list of admission 
pathways stipulated in the Governor's Regulation in the technical instructions for the 
implementation of AONL High School and Vocational School of East Java Province for the 
2019/2020 school year no 188.4 / 3112 / 101.7.1 / KPTS / 2019.

Prospective new learners who enrolled in the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya as 
many as 736 students. It consists entirely of various registration channels. Both from within the 
network of zoning pathways of choice one and two, and through outside the network of non-
academic academic achievement pathways, underprivileged children, UN achievements and 
moving parents' assignments. The quota owned by 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya is 
389 ceilings from 843 registered. Here are the results of an interview conducted by the author to 
Usman as Waka Student Affairs 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya: 

“From the results of the AONL admission selection that we did, we actually netted 396 
students (36 students x 11 classes), but the re-list was only 389 students there was a difference of 
7 students. The seven students are transferred to other high schools because of the fulfillment of 
the ceiling, some follow the parents' move, etc." (interview April 20, 2020). 

The zoning system runs on the AONL. The implementation starts on May 27, 2019 until 
June 20, 2019. Implementation of new student admissions in coordination with the education 
office and fellow teachers formed in the committee. The system runs cannot be separated from 
the coordination of various parties. Similarly, 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya which 
makes coordination efforts with various parties related to the implementation of the new 
student admission system. Coordination was carried out on the part of the East Java Education 
Office and fellow committees.  

Implementation of educational services at 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya by 
providing information, guidance, and infrastructure needed. The size  and objectives of the 
zoning system policy in the implementation of AONL at the 10th State Senior High School of 
Surabaya are in accordance with existing or established policy standards and objectives. The 
10th State Senior High School of Surabaya is a small part of the implementation of the system 
that has been established by the central government. The central rules are based on the 
minister's policy, then down and detailed back on the regional rules through the governor of 
East Java. Existing rules are detailed again by the local government in accordance with the 
regional agreement and the conditions that are running both in terms of the time of 
implementation, technical provisions and so on. 

 
b. Resources 
Human resources are workers or employees in an organization, who have an important 
position to get success (Sedarmayanti, 2009). The implementation of this policy is supported by 
human resources, funding resources, and infrastructure. Judging from the uneven human 
resources in a region, it causes uneven abilities possessed by students. Learners who come from 
the city tend to have experience compared to prospective learners who come from the district 
area, so there is a social gap between prospective learners from the city and district. In addition, 
the competencies possessed by teachers are also different. Teachers who are knowledgeable in 
the field of education have more teaching ability compared to teachers who have low 
knowledge.  

The existence of zoning is expected to encourage the quality of teacher. If the teacher has 
quality competence, it is expected to produce qualified learners as well. While in the aspect of 
financial resources or financing there are no obstacles. The source of funding at the 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya was obtained from the APBD organized by the East Java 
Provincial Education Office. This means that the provincial government is responsible for 
implementing the management of secondary education which is the responsibility of the district 
or city government in East Java province. With the abolition of the provincial government's 
national inspection, it can reduce the budget, so that it can be used for interest to finance the 
most urgent school management. The availability of infrastructure that supports the 
implementation of zoning policies widely at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya is 
still uneven due to the limited information technology knowledge owned by prospective 
students' parents. In addition, the AONL zoning system turned out to have a positive impact, 
namely prospective students do not need to spend transportation costs because the distance of

the school to home is quite close. Broadly speaking, the availability of human resources and 
financial resources has supported the implementation of the zoning system policy in the AONL 
at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya. 

 
c. Characteristics of the Executing Comitee 
The implementation of the admission zoning policy for new high school students at the 10th 
State Senior High School of Surabaya requires commitment or consistency of the technical 
implementation party, namely between the school and the Surabaya City Education Office 
Branch in the implementation of the policy. The characteristics of a good employee will affect 
the success of a policy. Judging from the ability of employees at 10th State Senior High School 
of Surabaya, it can be said that it has not been evenly distributed. Employees who have 
knowledge of information technology developments are easier to implement the policy online. 
Unlike employees who have low knowledge about the development of information technology. 
This can affect services to target groups that have not been implemented optimally. 
Nevertheless, employees at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya have tried to provide 
optimal services by coordinating with the surabaya city education supervisor. 

The authorities in policy making related to the implementation of AONL zoning system at 
10th State Senior High School of Surabaya have coordinated with the Jatim Provincial 
Education Office as the main stakeholder in the management of provincial education. This 
proves that the technical supervision mechanism that has been carried out by related parties 
regarding the management of the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya cannot be 
separated from the East Java Governor Regulation Number 18 of 2019 concerning Guidelines 
for the Implementation of Admission of New Learner Admissions in High Schools, Vocational 
High Schools, and Extraordinary Schools in East Java Province. 

The implementation of the admission system for prospective new learners at the 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya is carried out in two ways, namely online or online and offline 
or outside the network. The zoning system is carried out by entering student data related to the 
identity and residence of prospective participants who will be used in determining the 
coordinate point of the house on the PIN regristration in high school, this is where the form of 
guidance services from the school in the community. As for the implementation of educational 
services in the admission process of new students in making a program plan for activities for all 
students. After the admission of new students, the data that has been collected is submitted to 
the branch of the provincial government office to be legalized. After the admission of students 
from the path of both zoning, achievement, and parents moving assignments, the school 
conducts a matriculation test to map students' abilities. This is done to provide maximum 
educational services to students who are accepted from various paths.  

The implementation of AONL carried out by the Regional Committee only refers to the 
central policy, while the reality in the field is not in line with what is imagined, where the 
registration process in the field has many obstacles, among others, during the PIN retrieval 
process, there are many complaints from the community for determining the distance of home 
to school coordinates. Related to these constraints, it is expected that policy makers must 
analyze and socialize to the community before the policy is implemented. 

 
d. Attitude of Tendencies (Disposition) of the Executors Comitee 
Personality or attitude is the character and characteristics possessed by policy implementers, 
such as commitment, discipline, honesty, wisdom, and democratic nature. The attitude of the 
implementer of this zoning policy has carried out its duties and responsibilities correctly in 
accordance with the AoNL implementation regulations in East Java Province. However, not all 
parties responded positively to the zoning policy. Some student guardians and prospective 
students at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya objected because with this zoning 
policy they felt they could not be free to choose the desired school. The employees at 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya have been obedient and responsible to the duties given from

the head of the office and implemented the policy properly. The attitude of the implementing 
agent towards the policy of the zoning system in the AONL at the 10th State Senior High School 
of Surabaya affected his willingness to implement the policy. 

 
e. Communication Between Organizations and Implementation Activities 
Personal communication and interaction are essential for coordination. Good interpersonal 
relationships have a great influence on the achievement of goals at the 10th State Senior High 
School of Surabaya. Emphasize a positive work atmosphere, so that coordinators know how to 
interact with colleagues, and develop skills to support the work team in making ever-changing 
plans. Communication systems for planning and monitoring facilitate dialogue on teaching, 
reach agreement on common goals, and exchange practices and expertise. 

The implementation of zoning policies at the high school level at the 10th State Senior High 
School of Surabaya requires communication between the school and the East Java Education 
Office and the Surabaya Branch education office. After the responsibility was delegated to the 
provincial government, the Surabaya Education Office and the leadership at the 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya organized a technical manager to carry out the zoning. 
Communication activities are carried out through internal communication and external 
communication, communication with internal parties occurs between employees at 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya or between superiors and internal subordinates. At the same 
time, communication with external parties is carried out between institutions related to policy 
implementation as well as participants of policy target groups. Based on the above description, 
researchers concluded that the exchanges made by the 10th State Senior High School of 
Surabaya were external exchanges and internal exchanges. Internal communication can be done 
in the form of coordination within the organization. At the same time, cooperate with parties 
outside the organization for external communication. So that with the coordination and 
communication that occurs between the parties concerned can implement the policy of the 
zoning system in the AONL at the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya. 

 
f. Economic, Social, and Political Environment 
Social, political, and economic conditions are related to the condition of prospective learners at 
the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya. If the zoning policy is properly socialized to 
prospective students, the implementation will not encounter obstacles. For this reason, there 
needs to be coordination from the school in this case 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya 
and the Provincial Education Office through the Surabaya City Education Office Branch. 

Economic conditions in each region are different. Guardians of students who have weak 
economic abilities tend to be the cause of children to drop out of school. Although the 
government currently requires 12 years of study, in fact, the BOS fee provided by the 
government does not help the education costs of prospective students. It is expected that the 
government in this case will help solve the problem of prospective students at the 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya who are underprivileged and need tuition allowances. It is 
expected that the government can free up the cost of education for 12 years. This political 
condition benefits the government can be seen from the implementation of the zoning system 
carried out online, which can cut costs from the East Java Provincial Revenue Budget. Referring 
to social, political and economic conditions as an external environment that can also affect the 
implementation of zoning policies in the AONL at the 10th State Senior High School of 
Surabaya, namely in the form of rejection or support for the implementation of the policy. 
 
Supporting Factors in the Implementation of Zoning System Policy at 10th State Senior High 
School of Surabaya 
There are regulations that have been established by the government to provide access to 
education. Supporting the implementation of the zoning system in equalization is the loyalty 
and cohesiveness of educators and educators. Where both educators and education personnel

work together to implement the regulations that have been made by the government on the 
admission of new students through zoning. The form of compactness they do is to cooperate to 
prepare the implementation of new student admissions at the 10th State Senior High School of 
Surabaya. 

Staff owned by 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya is also one of the supporting 
factors for the running of the zoning system in equalization at 10th State Senior High School of 
Surabaya. The AONL organizing committee also conveyed that each has its own abilities, this 
can help each other in implementing what has been planned.  

Another supporting factor is that 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya has been using 
the credit system this past one year semester. In the learning process, students can learn 
according to their learning ability. Learning activities using the semester credit system are 
expected to accommodate students who have varying learning speeds, where students who 
have higher than average abilities can be accommodated. The learning activity consists of 1 
rombel which includes IPA classes of 20 students and IPS classes of 15 students. The teaching 
and learning process for IPA and IPS classes is separated into 2 different classes. In addition, the 
function of the semester credit system is held to raise the school brand. 

Supporting factors in the implementation of high school zoning system policies at the 10th 
State Senior High School of Surabaya, namely judging from the human resources of teachers 
and education personnel are already feasible (on average already with a bachelor's degree) but 
there are still many who have non-civil servant status so that it needs to be improved again 
staffing status. In addition, for the facilities and infrastructure in the 10th State Senior High 
School of Surabaya is good, it only needs to add some supporting facilities such as Language 
laboratories and Auditoriums so that teaching and learning activities can be carried out 
optimally. Learning activities using the semester credit system are expected to accommodate 
students who have varying learning speeds, where students who have higher abilities above 
average can be accommodated. 
 
Obstacles in the Implementation of Zoning System Policy at 10th State Senior High School 
of Surabaya 
The inhibiting factor of the zoning system in the distribution of educational services is the 
distribution of schools that are still centralized and unevenly considered not ready in 
implementing a zoning system based on mileage from home to school. Measuring distances that 
sometimes do not match the reality are also considered to be obstacles in the implementation of 
the zoning system. The determination of the coordinates of the distance between the student's 
home and the school is for the administration of PIN creation. This is because not all home 
addresses are detected by the application used. 

Determining coordinates for PIN retrieval in almost all Senior High School has problems, 
where the use of new applications makes the determination of the house point not right. This 
makes prospective students disadvantaged because the distance from home to school becomes 
far away. In addition, another obstacle is the low socioeconomic background of students plus 
the background of parental education is also low, making students not study well and on 
average school becomes low. The view that is still attached in the people of Surabaya is if you 
go to school from the next favorite junior high school also at the favorite State High School. 
Parents of students send children to school in their favorite schools aiming to get a good 
education, it is hoped that if the education system obtained is good, it will make a child at the 
next level will get a good school as well. 

Another obstacle faced is the competence of educators is also felt not the same between 
schools with each other. With the existence of a zoning system based on the distance from home 
to school overrides the student's National Exam scores. Then public high schools will accept 
heterogeneous students based on their grades. The results of AONL admissions at the 10th State 
Senior High School of Surabaya judging from NE scores are still very low ranging from 35 to 38, 
the figure is obtained from the selection of the Achievement Value path, in contrast to those

obtained from the Zoning path selection, the average NE value is very low. This is a high 
disparity. 

Admission of new students with a zoning system is like "taking a cat in a sack" because the 
school does not know the background of prospective students who enroll in the intended high 
school. Student screening is only recorded with the distance from home to school, seeing the 
fact that the school will get prospective learners who vary greatly ranging from intelligence, 
socio-economic, to their personality. Facing this kind of reality, the solution carried out by 10th 
State Senior High School of Surabaya by activating the role of the class guardian and BK. The 
school facilitates student and parent complaints. The school also conducts a Home Visit to filter 
out complaints that exist in each family. 

Students' abilities are heterogeneous and those who are relatively low in learning ability 
are believed to have abilities in other fields. As only in areas of skills such as sewing, cooking, 
automotive and others. It's just that 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya has not been able 
to maximize this because it does not have a suitable container for those who have these skills. 
Inhibiting factors in the implementation of the high school zoning system policy at the 10th 
State Senior High School of Surabaya, namely the comparison of State High School with the 
number of junior high school graduates both public and private are very unbalanced, making 
not all junior high school graduates unable to enter the State High School. The distribution of 
Public High Schools in Surabaya is still uneven, not in every region there is a State High School 
this makes prospective applicants whose location is far from the public school zone, many do 
not get a decent school. 

The AONL system must also be considered, there must be socialization from the relevant 
agencies both to the AONL committee and to the community. Where from the socialization the 
committee and the community became aware of how to register with the new system, so that no 
obstacles occurred in the field. Human resources must also be improved from the quality of 
education and staffing status, improving the quality of education is expected educators can 
provide better learning. 

CONCLUSION 
Based on the results of the study and discussions that have been conducted by researchers 
regarding the implementation of the zoning system policy in the AONL, especially in the 10th 
State Senior High School of Surabaya, it has been going quite well. As for the conclusions for 
more details, namely as follows: 

1. The implementation of AONL conducted at the 10th State Senior High School of 
Surabaya both online and offline has been carried out well even though it has not been 
maximized. Regarding the budget, AONL financing comes from school operational 
assistance funds and is assisted by the draft school budget activities by the school 
committee. At the same time, communication with external parties is carried out 
between institutions related to policy implementation as well as participants of policy 
target groups; Economically, socially and politically prospective students at the 10th 
State Senior High School of Surabaya are considered quite good. The efficiency or cost of 
transportation to school does not require large costs, then equalization of access to 
educational services becomes spread for students in any circle, and with the support of 
the government can help the successful implementation of this policy. 

2. A supporting factor for the implementation of the zoning system in equalization is the 
loyalty and cohesiveness of educators. Learning activities using the semester credit 
system are expected to accommodate students who have varying learning speeds, where 
students who have higher than average abilities can be accommodated. 

3. Obstacles found in the implementation of zoning system policies in AONL especially in 
the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya, namely: a) The online application 
provided is experiencing interference, b) The existing network at 10th State Senior High 
School of Surabaya is inadequate, c) The quota amount rule outside the zoning, namely

the achievement path of both academic and non-academic, makes the unfulfilling of the 
capacity in the 10th State Senior High School of Surabaya, and d) The mindset of the 
community towards the flagship schools has not changed.This study shows that the 
physics students have good epistemological belief in finishing thesis. 

Based on the research that has been done, it is recommended: (1) There needs to be 
socialization as an effort in understanding the policy of the zoning system so that all parties can 
know and understand the policy; (2) For the government in this case the ministry of education 
and its ranks as the spearhead of decision making and policy to better consider steps in making 
decisions by looking at existing regulations and hearing the aspirations of the community; (3) 
The Education and Culture Office of East Java Province and each school, especially in the 10th 
State Senior High School of Surabaya, need to socialize directly to prospective students and 
parents of students related to changes in the AONL policy.
