This study is aimed to identify a new cycle for making education policy which can be used to deal with the public problems (e.g. education). Qualitative research method was conducted, by a content analysis, to establish the educational policy cycle needed. The result of study identified six stages in the cycle of education policy consisting of agenda-setting, formulation, legitimacy, socialization, implementation, and evaluation. The cycle of educational policy contribute significantly to the enhancement of knowledge of policymakers, stakeholders, researchers, and implementers on the educational policy process. Moreover, the cycle can be used as a manual and guidance for managing the education sector, in particular making a new policy at the national level (center/ministry), messo (province/city/district) and local level (educational institution). Furthermore, it will help them to think systematically and properly for making and implementing the education policies.
