This is done considering the many problems surrounding policy implementation. The research method used is a policy research method. Policy research examines policies to produce policy recommendations or construct new policies. The informants were determined purposively, including the Mayor of Padang, the Padang City Government, the People^s Welfare Section, school principals, and religious leaders. The results of the study describe the construction of policies built from field findings, namely from the aspects of (1) political commitment and policy content- (2) resources- and (3) policy network. The factors that influence the implementation of policies are reconstructed through (1) policy formulation factors, (2) implementing personnel factors, and (3) implementing the organizational system.
