Global competitiveness index at the World Economic Forum 2017-2018, Indonesia ranks 36th, up five ranks from the previous year 41st position out of 137 countries. When compared to Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, we are still below. In regulating all these aspects the Aceh Government has established the Aceh Qanun Number 11 of 2014 concerning the Implementation of Education and the Aceh Qanun Number 9 of 2015 Amendment to the Aceh Qanun Number 11 of 2014 concerning the administration of Education. However, there are still many things that happen in the reality of education in Aceh that causes the quality of education in Aceh is still low. The problem discussed in this journal is how does the Government of Aceh make efforts to improve the quality of education in Aceh? This research is a qualitative research with a descriptive approach. This research seeks to understand and describe the efforts made by the Government of Aceh to improve the quality of education in Aceh. The results of the study show that Aceh already has policies and a strong legal foundation in the delivery of education, it's just that synergy between parties must be built so that what has become guidelines, foundations and rules can be implemented to reduce disparity and make opportunities to face challenges so influence the advancement of education which in turn can contribute to the level of welfare of the people of Aceh. The various challenges that exist with Aceh's potential must be used as opportunities in developing good future education plans in improving the quality of education in Aceh and global competitiveness.
