Abstract

This article examines the role of Islam and Christianity in building a multicultural society through the perspective of tolerance. With a literature study approach, this article analyzes the history of the relationship between Islam and Christianity, the concept of tolerance in both religions, the practice of tolerance in historical and contemporary contexts, the challenges and obstacles in building tolerance, and the factors influencing tolerance. Key findings show that tolerance is a fundamental value in Islam and Christianity, reflected in sacred teachings and historical examples. The practice of tolerance in a variety of contexts shows great potential for building harmony, although challenges such as religious extremism, prejudice, and inequality remain. This article concludes by reaffirming the importance of tolerance in multicultural societies and recommending further research on the role of religious leadership, the influence of education, and identity dynamics in promoting interfaith harmony

Abstract

This study explores the lives of street-selling children in Dili, Timor-Leste, who support their families through informal economic activities. Using a qualitative library-based research approach, the study highlights their dual roles as sources of family income and children with dreams and emotional needs. These children often work under harsh conditions and face social stigma. Only 40% of them have access to formal education. Despite this, they express strong educational aspirations, better livelihoods, and social recognition. The article emphasizes the urgency of inclusive educational policies, child protection laws, and government and civil society collaborative efforts to ensure a supportive environment for these vulnerable children. This research contributes to understanding the intersection of child labor, education access, and child welfare in post-conflict developing countries.

Abstract

The integration of information technology in education presents significant opportunities to improve access, equity, and quality in learning. However, in developing countries like Timor-Leste, the process faces complex challenges that are both infrastructural and cultural. This study aims to explore the key barriers to implementing educational technology in Timor-Leste through a structured literature review. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, 15 core publications were selected from a total of 225 sources retrieved from the Dimensions database. Thematic analysis identified five central issues: limited technological infrastructure, inadequate teacher readiness, restricted access to digital resources, cultural resistance, and weak institutional collaboration. Findings reveal that rural and border regions suffer from minimal internet connectivity, lack of digital devices, and low digital literacy among educators. Moreover, cultural factors—such as the perception of technology as an external influence and the undervaluing of local wisdom—create resistance to educational innovation. The study highlights the importance of integrating local cultural values into digital curricula, implementing targeted ICT training for teachers, and promoting inclusive, multicultural education. Policy implications suggest that long-term investment in infrastructure, community-based strategies, and formalized partnerships between institutions are essential to ensure successful digital transformation in education. The findings provide a framework for designing culturally responsive and sustainable education policies in Timor-Leste and similar contexts.

Abstract

Teacher regeneration is critical for sustaining national education quality, yet youth interest in this profession is reportedly declining. Limited empirical evidence exists regarding how career perceptions and social factors shape this interest among final-year secondary students, particularly in archipelagic regions with strong extractive industrial pulls such as Bangka Belitung. This study aims to examine the associations between perceived career prospects, social factors, and interest in becoming a teacher among 12th-grade senior high school students in Bangka Belitung Province. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was employed. A total of 753 twelfth-grade students were involved, with 100 participating in instrument testing and 653 completing the main survey. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with robust standard errors via Python (Google Colab platform). The regression model explained 45.8% of the variance in interest in becoming a teacher (R² = .458; F = 244.1, p < .001). Perceived career prospects emerged as a significant unique statistical predictor (β = 0.492, p < .001), whereas social factors did not show a significant independent association (β = -0.043, p = .338). These findings indicate that student interest in the Bangka Belitung archipelago is primarily associated with pragmatic career considerations, whereas traditional social values alone do not meaningfully drive career choice in this context. The results can inform regional policy reforms, particularly those aimed at improving tangible job prospects and professional conditions to prevent a potential talent gap in the education sector. Future research should further explore the roles of self-efficacy and digital information exposure using qualitative or mixed-methods approaches.
