Abstract

This study examines the challenges faced by school principals in implementing peer empowerment approaches to address bullying in elementary schools. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Twelve peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 were selected from reputable databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, Google Scholar, DOAJ, and Garuda. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring psychosocial barriers and leadership-related challenges in the implementation of peer-based anti-bullying programs. The findings reveal four dominant barriers: diffusion of responsibility, students’ fear of becoming subsequent victims, pluralistic ignorance, and observers’ limited knowledge of appropriate intervention strategies. Collectively, these factors contribute to a pattern of collective passivity that weakens students’ capacity to function as active bystanders in bullying prevention. Furthermore, the effectiveness of peer empowerment programs is strongly contingent upon principals’ leadership capacity to cultivate a safe, supportive, and prosocial school climate. This includes the implementation of witness protection mechanisms, the correction of erroneous social norms, the strengthening of moral courage literacy, and the provision of evidence-based intervention training.

Abstract

In the competitive landscape of Islamic education, maintaining a positive reputation is crucial for Islamic schools to attract public trust and ensure sustainability. Effective educational public relations (PR) plays a central role in addressing modern communication challenges while upholding Islamic values. This study focuses on MA Atqia Bondowoso, exploring how a multidimensional PR approach can sustain its reputation amidst the dynamics of the digital era. The research aims to develop a holistic PR framework that integrates branding, image building, reputation maintenance, effective communication, and community engagement. Employing a qualitative case study approach at MA Atqia Bondowoso, the study examines the role of PR in sustaining the school’s reputation. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed inductively following Miles and Huberman’s stages. Data validity was ensured through triangulation and member checking to provide a comprehensive overview of PR strategies in maintaining the school’s reputation. The findings reveal that a strategic PR approach, combining digital and traditional communication channels, enhances public trust, strengthens school competitiveness, and ensures long-term sustainability. Key strategies include consistent branding, transparent communication, and active community engagement, aligned with Islamic principles. The study proposes a comprehensive PR model that addresses contemporary communication challenges while preserving Islamic values.
