Abstract

Vocational education plays a pivotal role in enhancing the competitiveness of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates in the face of global demands. This study explores the role and effectiveness of vocational education policies in improving language competence and graduate employability at SMKN 1 Telagasari. Employing a case study approach, the findings reveal that policies encouraging collaboration between schools and industry, along with the adoption of competency-based curricula, significantly support the development of both technical skills and language-related soft skills. The results show a marked improvement in graduate employability following the implementation of these policies. However, the study also identifies challenges such as regional disparities in vocational education quality and limited funding and infrastructure. Strengthening policy support and increasing resource allocation are essential to improving vocational education outcomes at a national level.

Abstract

Conflicts among teachers in a school setting are a natural occurrence, often arising from differing viewpoints and individual traits. The principal's role in managing these conflicts through effective communication is vital in maintaining a harmonious and supportive work environment. This research investigates the communicative strategies applied by the principal of SD Negeri 2 Pantai in resolving teacher conflicts and fostering relational harmony within the school. Using a case study approach, data were gathered through interviews, observation, and document review. The results show that strategies such as open dialogue, mediation, and the promotion of a collaborative work culture significantly contribute to minimizing conflicts while boosting teacher motivation and teamwork. The study recommends that school principals enhance their communication and conflict resolution competencies to create a more positive and harmonious school climate.
