Abstract

The 1945 Constitution guarantees the right to health, including the reproductive health of adolescents who are vulnerable to the TRIAD KRR. The central and regional governments are obliged to provide health services through decentralization. However, implementation faces challenges of coordination, funding, and regional capacity, so legal analysis is needed to assess the effectiveness of reproductive health policies. To examine and analyze the role of local governments in the provision of reproductive health services in Indonesia and To examine and analyze the barriers faced by local governments in the provision of reproductive health services. This study is an Empirical legal research using a Legislative Approach and a Conceptual Approach. The role of local governments in the provision of reproductive health services has been regulated in Law No. 17 of 2023 and Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024, with the obligation to provide promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services. Although various programs have been implemented, implementation is still constrained by limited human resources, infrastructure, and coordination.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by English teachers in applying open-ended questions in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms, focusing on a senior high school in Makassar, Indonesia. Open-ended questions are known to promote student engagement, critical thinking, and language fluency. However, despite their pedagogical potential, their practical use remains limited in many EFL contexts. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research gathered data through in-depth interviews with four English teachers at SMA Negeri 11 Makassar. The findings reveal several persistent challenges, including limited class time, students' low confidence in speaking English, lack of teacher training, and curriculum rigidity. These obstacles hinder teachers from using open-ended questions regularly, often causing them to rely on traditional closed-ended questioning methods. The study further highlights how systemic constraints, such as time-bound learning targets and exam-oriented instruction, exacerbate the issue. These findings suggest the urgent need for institutional support, professional development programs, and curriculum flexibility to empower teachers in using open-ended questions more effectively. By exploring the lived experiences of teachers, this study contributes to the growing discourse on questioning strategies in EFL teaching and offers practical insights for improving classroom interaction in Indonesian secondary schools.

Abstract

The rapid digitalization of contemporary societies has intensified tensions between criminal law enforcement and the protection of digital rights, particularly in emerging democracies. This study examines the structural challenges of safeguarding digital rights within Indonesia’s criminal law framework and identifies necessary reform pathways. Using a qualitative normative doctrinal approach structured as a single-country case study, the research analyses key statutory instruments, including the Electronic Information and Transactions Law and the 2022 Personal Data Protection Law, alongside relevant legal doctrines and comparative regulatory models. The findings reveal five interrelated structural constraints: regulatory lag, tension between criminalization and fundamental rights, doctrinal rigidity, evidentiary and enforcement limitations, and institutional as well as digital literacy deficits. The study identifies a normative asymmetry in which speech-related criminal enforcement has evolved more assertively than privacy protection mechanisms. It argues that Indonesia represents a hybrid statutory model of digital governance, distinct from the European constitutionalized regulatory approach and the United States’ intermediary-immunity paradigm. Effective reform requires harmonized legislation, proportional criminalization, institutional modernization, and rights-oriented judicial interpretation. By reconceptualizing digital rights protection as a structural transformation of criminal law, this study expands digital governance theory beyond Euro-American binaries and highlights the distinctive regulatory pathways of Global South democracies.
