Indonesia have low quality of education. According Trend International Mathematics and Science Study, Indonesian student's mathematical literacy is ranked 36 from 49 countries. For Science literacy, Indonesia is ranked 35 from 49 countries. To increase quality of education in Indonesia, Indonesia's government make a new policy for new student admission called zoning system.

The results show that Indonesia's people tend to disagree with the zoning system admission policy because negative opinion is greater than positive opinion. Furthermore, accuracy rates of SVM and Naïve Bayes are 92.93% and 79.86% respectively. So, SVM is better than Naïve Bayes for sentiment analysis of zoning system admission policy.
