<![CDATA[ Abstract: Supervision by the madrasa principal in guidance and counseling (BK) services across various educational units is still not running optimally due to time limitations, minimal coordination, and students’ low understanding of Guidance and Counseling. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the madrasa principal’s supervision in student Guidance and Counseling at MAN Insan Cendekia Bengkulu Tengah. It employs a descriptive qualitative method. Data sources were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, with data analysis based on the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the study indicate that the supervision of the madrasa principal, which includes planning, implementation, and evaluation, has been carried out quite effectively, supported by orderly administration and Guidance and Counseling services that align with students’ needs. Guidance and Counseling services in the madrasa cover personal, social, academic, and career aspects, with program implementation that is structured through regular assessments and continuous follow-up actions. The supervision has also strengthened coordination among the madrasa principal, Guidance and Counseling teachers, and other school stakeholders, thereby supporting the improvement of the quality of Guidance and Counseling services. Therefore, it can be concluded that the supervision of the madrasah principal has been running effectively in providing guidance and counseling services for students, although several obstacles such as limited time, workload, and supporting facilities still require attention to improve the effectiveness of services on an ongoing basis. Thus, it is recommended to enhance the effectiveness of the madrasah principal’s supervision in student guidance and counseling at the madrasah.Keywords: Effectiveness, Principal’s Supervision, Student Guidance and Counseling.
