Abstract:
Background: In Indonesia, efforts to enhance quality of midwives include national competency test and accreditation for midwifery education. However, in 2014, only 53.5% of midwife candidates successfully complete the national competency test. In Lampung, public schools perform relatively higher than private schools in the competency test. Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the quality of public and private midwifery education in Lampung, Indonesia and identify effective interventions for improvement. Methodology: This study consists of two components: analysis of secondary data and a literature review. Framework for analysis was developed by comparing national and international (World Health Organization and International Confederation of Midwives) standard on midwifery education. The study found no major difference between public and private schools in: vision, mission, goal, objectives and strategies; curriculum, learning and academic atmosphere; facility, infrastructure and information system; community service and cooperation. However, they were differences in the issues as follows: public schools have more lecturers with master degree, lectureship and lecturer certification than in private schools; public schools have better qualified head of schools; public schools have more enrolment demand; private schools have no data tracer studies although they claim that they did; and capabilities of graduates from public schools have added value. Notably, the national guidelines have a gap in practical clinical learning process. Conclusion and Recommendation: The recommendations are; The National Accreditation Body for Higher Education needs to include standard on practical clinical learning; support lecturers to pursue master degree; and conduct tracer studies.
