Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program is a national policy implemented by the Indonesian government to improve students’ nutritional status as part of human capital development. This article aims to examine whether the MBG program has a positive impact on the intelligence and cognitive development of students in Indonesia. The study employs a literature review method, analyzing government reports, empirical research findings, and relevant national and international academic publications. The findings indicate that adequate nutritional intake provided through the MBG program contributes positively to students’ learning concentration, school attendance, learning motivation, and classroom engagement. These factors are essential prerequisites for cognitive development and intellectual potential. However, empirical evidence directly linking the MBG program to measurable increases in intelligence indicators, such as IQ scores or long-term academic achievement, remains limited due to the program’s recent implementation. In conclusion, the MBG program demonstrates a positive influence on conditions that support student intelligence, while further longitudinal research is needed to assess its direct impact on intellectual outcomes

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component of English language proficiency and plays a crucial role in developing students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. However, teaching vocabulary in rural EFL contexts presents unique challenges, particularly in regions with limited educational resources. This study aims to explore the challenges faced by English teachers in teaching vocabulary to rural junior high school students in North Bali, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving English teachers from rural junior high schools. The findings reveal that teachers encounter multiple interrelated challenges, including limited instructional resources, students’ low exposure to English, inadequate vocabulary learning strategies, and contextual constraints related to rural educational settings. These challenges significantly affect the effectiveness of vocabulary instruction. The study contributes to EFL pedagogy by providing context-specific insights and pedagogical implications for improving vocabulary teaching in rural secondary education
