Abstract

The literacy crisis in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) reflects structural challenges that extend beyond low reading interest, encompassing educational, social, cultural, and economic factors. Limited access to reading materials, disparities in teacher capacity, linguistic transitions, and inadequate digital infrastructure continue to hinder literacy development. This study examines how the integration of Total Quality Management (TQM) and participatory Christian leadership can strengthen literacy initiatives in NTT. TQM provides a systematic framework for continuous quality improvement through planning, implementation, evaluation, and stakeholder involvement. Complementing this approach, participatory Christian leadership fosters collaboration among principals, teachers, parents, and local communities in developing culturally relevant and community-based literacy programs. The synergy between quality culture and participatory leadership promotes sustainable, low-cost, and context-sensitive literacy interventions. The study concludes that improving literacy in NTT requires not only educational resources but also organizational transformation, community participation, and collaborative leadership to achieve inclusive and sustainable educational development.

Abstract

Education in Indonesia is continuously evolving through curriculum development based on the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI). One of the latest initiatives is the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM), introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and centred on the concept of Merdeka Belajar (Independent Learning). However, implementing the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Curriculum in Theological Colleges (Sekolah Tinggi Teologi) faces several challenges, including a limited understanding of educational regulations, inadequate human resources, and insufficient funding. This study employs a qualitative, phenomenological approach to analyse the barriers faced by Sekolah Tinggi Teologi X in implementing the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program. The results indicate that several aspects of MBKM are implementable, including: Lectures outside the primary study program, field service practice (PPL), an assessment system that does not require mandatory mid-semester or final exams. Conversely, other components remain difficult to execute, such as student exchange programs, entrepreneurship initiatives, and independent studies or projects. This study recommends that stakeholders analyse self-training strategies, evaluate the current curriculum, and develop a partnership strategy to accelerate the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Theological Colleges.
