Indonesian constitutional system. So that all actions taken by the government must have a
legal basis. In maintaining the quality of education at the tertiary level during the Covid-19
pandemic, the government issued a legal policy in the form of joint decrees and circulars in
which it hopes to maintain the quality of education during the Covid-19 pandemic. The

policies in maintaining the quality of national education, especially at the university level
during the Covid-19 pandemic. Second, to find out the ideal concept of government policy in
maintaining the quality and/or improving the National education system, especially at the
Higher Education level during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
