Abstract

This article examines the pivotal role of education policy in enhancing students' reading (literacy) and numeracy skills in the new era of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia. Through a comprehensive review of various studies and educational literature, this article explores how current policies support schools and teachers in fostering these foundational skills among students. It identifies key challenges in policy implementation that may hinder its overall effectiveness. The findings suggest that effective education policy should grant schools the flexibility to tailor learning approaches to student needs while providing adequate support for teachers to develop engaging and developmentally appropriate literacy and numeracy programs. The article proposes several policy recommendations, including increased investment in teacher training, development of localized learning materials, and the integration of continuous assessment tools to monitor student progress. Furthermore, this study addresses specific research questions: (1) How do current education policies influence the development of literacy and numeracy in primary and secondary schools? (2) What are the main barriers faced by educators in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum effectively? and (3) What policy adjustments are needed to better align national education goals with classroom practices? This article aims to offer a clearer understanding of how education policies can contribute to shaping a more literate and numerate generation of Indonesian students.

Abstract

Public relations management plays a strategic role in building and maintaining a positive image and improving the performance of educational institutions in the midst of evolving social dynamics. This article aims to analyze the public relations strategies that can be effectively implemented, the challenges faced in their implementation, and the long-term implications for the reputation and sustainability of educational institutions. Through a qualitative-descriptive approach and literature study, it is found that well-managed public relations can strengthen internal and external communication, build public trust, and support the achievement of the institution's vision and mission. However, challenges such as limited resources, internal resistance, and changes in communication technology demand continuous adaptation and innovation. The implications of effective public relations management not only impact on public perception, but also on increasing participation, the quality of education services and the competitiveness of the institution. Therefore, strengthening the capacity of public relations is one of the strategic keys in the management of modern educational institutions.
