Abstract	This study explores the dynamics of student admission management in elementary schools, with a particular emphasis on transparency and innovation. Employing a qualitative case study approach, structured interviews were conducted with 15 elementary school headmasters in Makassar to gain insights into their practices and perspectives. The findings highlight three key themes: transparent communication, fair and inclusive practices, and the transformative role of technology. Transparent communication strategies, such as online registration systems, public information sessions, and detailed scoring criteria, were identified as crucial for fostering trust and ensuring equity. Fair and inclusive practices, including predefined quotas, lottery systems, and anonymous application processing, were shown to minimize bias and promote impartiality. Additionally, technology was found to streamline operational processes, enhance accessibility, and redefine outreach strategies through digital promotion and interactive tools. The study underscores the potential of these practices to improve transparency, inclusivity, and efficiency in school admissions. It provides valuable implications for policymakers and educators, advocating for systemic reforms that prioritize clarity, equity, and stakeholder collaboration. However, the reliance on subjective responses and the small sample size limit the generalizability of the findings. Expanding the participant pool to include diverse stakeholders and employing mixed-method approaches are recommended for future research to enhance reliability and applicability. Overall, this research highlights actionable strategies for fostering fair and transparent admission systems and offers a foundation for ongoing improvements in educational access and equity.
