While, the factors supporting the implementation of accreditation for schools/madrasah are the formation of BAP S/M manager at Southeast Sulawesi province, Accreditation Implementation Unit (UPA) for regency/city, good coordination establishment with the Department of National Education and Department of Religious Affairs, the number of assessors in various levels of education, the availability of an adequate budget from central and local government,
while the inhibiting factors are the awareness of madrasah leaders are still low and some of them still do not know that there is an accreditation for madrasah, and madrasah management is still poor.
