The quality of education can be improved through the development of student literacy and numeracy skills with the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM), which is a national assessment instrument that tests students' reading and numeracy literacy skills. Through Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM), the transformation of education in Indonesia is expected to be more creative and innovative. This research is of the qualitative research type with a case study approach. This study involved the principal, grade 5th teacher, and three grade 5th students of Elementary School 2 Lemahireng who were selected by the snow-ball sampling technique. The research instrument is in the form of interview guidelines. Data collection uses observation, interview, and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses reduction, data presentation, and conclusion techniques. In this study, source triangulation was used. The results showed that school preparation in facing Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) includes providing facilities and infrastructure, conducting training for teachers, and equipping students with tryouts. School obstacles in implementing Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) are not stable internet network, insufficient number of learning modules, teachers applying lecture methods, at least preparation time, difficulty in developing assessments and compiling Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM)-based questions, and some students who are not good at reading.
