Abstract

This study aims to analyze the recruitment system and quality development of special education teachers in Banjarmasin City. A qualitative approach was used with a multi-site study method with data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observation and documentation analysis. The informants in this study consisted of the Education and Culture Office of South Kalimantan Province, the Banjarmasin City Education Office, level school principals, and special education teachers. The results of this study show that the special education teacher recruitment system still faces challenges in terms of the availability of educators who have competencies in accordance with the needs of inclusive education. In addition, the implementation of training and development programs for special education teachers is still not optimal in improving the quality of inclusive education services. This research emphasizes the importance of a more comprehensive policy in recruiting and developing special education teachers to provide better education services for students with special needs.
