This study examines the Analysis of Challenges and Opportunities in the Implementation of Indonesian Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation No. 24 of 2018 on Madrasah Principals in Majene Regency. It explores three main aspects: the challenges, opportunities, and outcomes associated with the implementation of this regulation. The research aims to describe these factors and evaluate their impact on madrasah management in the region. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a juridical perspective, this study analyzes the extent to which the regulation aligns with its practical implementation. Data sources comprise both primary and secondary materials, collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The data analysis process follows three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of the regulation in Majene Regency remains suboptimal. Several components within the Ministry of Religious Affairs' local administration have yet to fully comply with the regulation. Moreover, many madrasah principals demonstrate limited knowledge and understanding of its provisions, resulting in ineffective implementation and subpar outcomes. This gap between policy and practice underscores the need for enhanced dissemination, targeted training, and continuous support to ensure the regulation achieves its intended objectives.
