Early Childhood Education (PAUD) and Non-Formal Education (PNF) play a crucial role in human resource development, particularly during the early stages of individual growth. The Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) and the External Quality Assurance System (SPME) are key components in ensuring sustainable educational quality. SPMI focuses on self-evaluation by institutions to meet the National Education Standards, while SPME involves external parties for evaluation and accreditation. This study employs a literature review approach to assess the concepts and implementation of SPMI and SPME, as well as their impact on improving education quality in the PAUD/PNF sector. Findings indicate that the combination of these two systems can systematically, strategically, and sustainably enhance educational quality, although challenges such as inadequate facilities and irrelevant educator standards still need to be addressed. These quality assurance systems are vital in delivering high-quality education that supports children’s optimal development.

The quality standards of processed fishery products can be assessed by applying regulations required in the industry, including halal certification and quality assurance systems. The implementation of halal certification and quality assurance system regulations can increase the development of MSMEs, especially with Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning the Halal Assurance System, which requires halal food to be halal certified. One of the factors that cause most MSMEs not to implement halal certification and other regulations is the existence of internal and external problems. This study aims to develop a development strategy for fishery product processing MSMEs by analyzing internal and external factors in implementing halal certification and quality assurance systems. The Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) method is used to prioritize alternative strategies based on the SWOT analysis results. This research concludes that the priority strategy for developing fish processing MSMEs is the SO strategies, which include utilizing government programs to form marketing and distribution networks, innovating attractive product packaging following people's lifestyles, utilizing technological advances for promotional activities, marketing, and expanding marketing networks and the need to create a business website so that the market can recognize every product owned by the company.

This study examines the role of the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) in enhancing the competitiveness of Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTI) in the era of globalization. The purpose of the research is to understand how SPMI can improve the quality of education, research, and graduates in PTI. The method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, through case studies of several PTIs that have implemented SPMI. The results show that the application of SPMI significantly contributes to improving academic quality and the competitiveness of PTIs. Strategies for strengthening SPMI that involve enhancing internal capacity, academic innovation, and international collaboration are key to success. This research recommends that PTIs strengthen their commitment to SPMI through targeted policies and conduct ongoing evaluations to maintain educational quality. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of SPMI in building the global competitiveness of PTIs, as well as in creating graduates who are prepared to face the challenges of the job market.
