Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the management strategies, the role of human resources, and the effectiveness of the national Nutritious Meal Program at Public Elementary School 157 Palembang. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, students, and Nutrition Service Unit (SPPG) representatives. Implementation was effective, supported by menu planning adhering to national standards, clear task distribution, strong cross-sectoral coordination, and continuous evaluation. The program positively impacted students’ health, concentration, and learning motivation. The research provides an early, in-depth case study of the program’s operational management at a single school, offering granular insight into the practical execution of a new national policy. The school’s management model centered on structured planning, collaboration, and monitoring serves as a replicable framework for ensuring effective and equitable program rollout in other primary schools. The study contributes empirical evidence on successful local-level implementation, highlighting critical managerial and human resource factors that translate national policy into tangible educational and health outcomes.

Abstract

Although inclusive education has been widely promoted to ensure equal access for students with special needs, empirical studies examining the combined role of curriculum adaptation and parental support at the primary school level remain limited, particularly in rural contexts. This study aims to analyze the influence of curriculum changes and parental support on the effectiveness of inclusive education in primary schools in Sirah Pulau Padang Subdistrict. A quantitative survey design was employed involving teachers, principals, and parents. Data were collected using validated and reliable instruments and analyzed through multiple regression analysis. The findings demonstrate that curriculum changes significantly influence the effectiveness of inclusive education, parental support also has a significant effect, and both variables simultaneously contribute positively and significantly to inclusive education outcomes. The novelty of this study lies in integrating institutional (curriculum adaptation) and familial (parental support) factors within a single empirical model in a rural primary education setting. These findings provide practical implications for policymakers and school leaders in strengthening adaptive curriculum implementation and fostering collaborative partnerships with parents to enhance inclusive education effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) and its operational synergy with the School Health Program (UKS) at SD Mandiri Palembang, focusing on planning, execution, supervision, and follow-up, while identifying constraints and solutions. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that structured planning based on nutritional mapping and multi-stakeholder coordination enables effective implementation, featuring regular meal distribution and integrated nutrition education. Continuous supervision, including hygiene monitoring and nutritional status checks, strengthens the MBG-UKS synergy. Follow-up actions adapt menus and improve coordination to address challenges such as varying student appetite. The novelty lies in empirically illustrating how a feeding program can be systematically integrated into a school health framework within a specific Indonesian context. A key practical implication is the provision of a replicable implementation model for other schools seeking to link nutrition and health services. The study contributes a detailed qualitative case study to the field of school health management, demonstrating that structured processes and cross-program collaboration are essential for sustaining integrated student well-being initiatives.
