Abstract

In a regional autonomy or decentralization, educational financing is not only a responsibility of the central government but a shared responsibility with regional governments and the public. To operate, schools require huge funds for their day-to-day activities. In this case, education institutions should be more independent, creative and innovative in looking for and allocating multiple resources and funds for such activities. However, with the implementation of regional autonomy or education decentralization, schools have not attained fundamental change in regard to financing. For instance, Government schools heavily rely on governmental funds, while private schools largely depend on tuition paid by the students. This makes financing one of the most important aspects in school management. In order to pursue the students' learning needs, there should be huge amount of funds. In Indonesia, obtaining huge funds is one of the roles of the leaders. This implies leaders have to learn new ways of resource mobilization. The learning leadership is not only required to pay attention on students' learning, but also must decide on strategies for resource mobilization.
