Based on the background of the problem, the focus of the study and the result of qualitative research were on
observation, interviews and documentation carrying out in primary schools in four sub district in Padang and eight
Padang junior high schools about the distribution of primary school principals and zoning of new student admission to
the quality of education in Padang, the following conclusion can be drawn:
 In accordance with the data obtained by researchers, the distribution of elementary school principals based on
location of residence is still a conversation that must be discussed in Padang Education Department even though
some respondents strongly agree with the implementation of the school principal’s spread system close to the
location of residence because it is more effective and efficient in improving the quality of education, but this
also gets disagreement from some parties who consider that if the dissemination is carried out in accordance
with the location of the residence, it will increase the negligence of the principal in carrying out their duties.
 The application of the zoning system in the admission of new students received a very enthusiastic response
from various parties who became respondents in this study because there was even distribution of student
acceptance which had only been focused on favorite schools so that some schools finally accepted students who
did not pass the test at the favorite schools.
 With the primary school deployment system and student admission of new student admission zoning, it can be
seen that these two variables affect the quality/ quality of education in Padang by looking at the result of midterm
obtained by each student in school after implementing the zoning system so that smart students are divided the
average for all junior secondary schools is at the Padang Education Department.
