Abstract

The Program Sekolah Penggerak (PSP) is a priority initiative launched by Indonesia’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbud) to drive rapid school transformation and foster collaboration within the educational ecosystem at the regional level. Despite these efforts, 2,504 schools in the first cohort of the program were deemed unsuccessful after three years of receiving targeted support and funding. This study aims to assess the implementation of the PSP Batch 2, which has been operational for over two years in Cianjur Regency, Indonesia, through a retrospective analysis. The findings are critical for formulating policy recommendations to address the weaknesses identified in the implementation process. A descriptive qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing snowball sampling for data collection and analysis. The results provide insights into (1) the chronology of PSP Batch 2’s implementation in Cianjur Regency, (2) policy violations and challenges, including the lack of supporting local policies and frequent changes in school leadership during ongoing mentorship, and (3) recommendations for future PSP implementations, offering three key alternatives: centralization of the program, enhanced inter-ministerial collaboration, and the development of region-specific policies. This study presents valuable guidance for policymakers in decentralized education systems and calls for further research in other regions to evaluate the PSP’s implementation mechanisms.

This research aims to formulate a model for advanced socialisation of this Policy, implement it, and report the results. A qualitative, descriptive case study model was used in this research. Selected literature sources from the Scopus database were used to formulate a model of advanced socialisation. The socialisation model as a Webinar was implemented on 6th November 2023 for 838 participants consisting of higher education policymakers, lecturers, students, school principals, and teachers. The evaluation results show that the Webinar's objectives were achieved well, marked by increased participants' understanding. This research recommends continuing dissemination activities to expand and improve knowledge of these transformative policies.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the chronic imbalance in teacher distribution—particularly the scarcity and attrition of educators in rural regions—has emerged as a national crisis that threatens educational equity and long-term system sustainability. This study aims to explore the lived experiences of teacher career development and retention in rural Indonesian schools using an interpretative phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 18 participants, including elementary and secondary school teachers with 5–25 years of teaching experience, drawn from diverse rural provinces such as West Java, Central Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tenggara. The analysis was conducted through iterative coding and meaning-making cycles following the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) framework proposed by Smith et al. (2009), which facilitated the extraction of emergent themes and contextual insights. Six interrelated themes were identified: career path disorientation, lack of developmental support, professional alienation, delayed milestones, moral commitment, and systemic imbalance. Despite persistent structural adversities, many educators remain committed due to ethical loyalty and a sense of community responsibility. The study concludes that retention strategies must incorporate culturally grounded, participatory, and context-sensitive frameworks.

Abstract

This research recommends areas for establishing junior high schools in Cugenang, Pacet, and Cipanas (3 districts in Cianjur, Indonesia). It uses a descriptive quantitative. The spatial classification and analysis method with the Union feature Geographic Information System (GIS) overlay technique is applied – considering seven parameters: roads, slope, land use, population, fault, landslide danger, and earthquake danger. All of them are used as indicators to determine the suitability of the area. As a result, a map showing areas with five categories is created. Furthermore, in areas with very suitable categories, the researchers provide further testing with Satellite Imagery reviews to validate the coordinates of priority options. The researchers determined forty-nine priority option coordinates in nineteen villages and adapted these into a number script for user convenience. Supporting educational equality as one of the national priorities for 2030, the researchers are proposing these results.
