Abstract

Package C equivalency education represents a strategic non-formal education pathway aimed at expanding access to secondary education for individuals who are unable to participate in formal schooling. However, its implementation in Minahasa Regency faces several challenges, including low participation rates, inadequate facilities, limited tutor competence, and suboptimal program management. This study aims to analyze the planning, implementation, and evaluation processes of Package C education, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and develop a contextual management model based on local cultural values, namely the Mapalus Model. This research employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving stakeholders such as education officials, PKBM/SKB managers, tutors, learners, and community leaders. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the management of Package C education has not been systematically implemented across all stages. Planning is not fully needs-based, implementation remains conventional, and evaluation is not optimally utilized. Supporting factors include stakeholder involvement and government support, while inhibiting factors include limited infrastructure, low community awareness, and a lack of tutor training. The study proposes a Mapalus-based management model emphasizing collaboration, participation, and collective responsibility. This model integrates participatory planning, collaborative organization, andragogical learning, continuous evaluation, and stakeholder synergy. The model is expected to improve the quality, relevance, and sustainability of equivalency education.

Abstract

Abandoned children represent a persistent social problem with long-term implications for educational attainment, psychosocial wellbeing, and the quality of future human resources. This article reformulates a doctoral dissertation into a journal-style paper and examines how the Social Affairs Office of Minahasa Regency designs, implements, and evaluates human resource development strategies for abandoned children from an educational management perspective. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design. Data were generated through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the strategy has been organized through planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC), supported by legal mandates and cross-sector coordination with police, women and child protection agencies, local communities, and child welfare institutions. In practice, however, the strategy shows uneven effectiveness. It is relatively strong in basic-needs fulfillment, emergency response, administrative verification, and short-course skills training, but remains weaker in formal education reintegration, sustained psychosocial recovery, family reunification quality, and long-term social integration. Key enabling factors include regulatory support, institutional collaboration, and the existence of non-formal training initiatives, while key barriers include inadequate budget allocation, insufficient qualified social workers, limited facilities, weak outcome-based evaluation, low public participation, and low motivation among many children to re-enter school. The article argues that abandoned children's development should not be treated merely as a welfare intervention but as a long-horizon educational management process. Based on the findings, a strengthened educational management strategy is proposed, integrating measurable educational indicators, competency development for social workers, stronger community participation, digitalized case management, and continuous CIPP-based evaluation. Such a strategy is necessary to transform short-term rescue efforts into sustainable human resource development outcomes.

Abstract

This article analyzes the influence of social media use, digital literacy, and the effectiveness of reproductive health counseling on medical students' reproductive health knowledge. The study is positioned within educational management because digital platforms, information literacy, and counseling programs are not merely instructional tools; they represent a managed learning ecosystem that requires planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. A quantitative survey design was used with 276 medical students as respondents. Data were collected through structured questionnaires measuring four constructs: social media use, digital literacy, counseling effectiveness, and reproductive health knowledge. Instrument testing showed that all indicators were valid, while reliability coefficients were strong for social media use (Cronbach's alpha = 0.939), digital literacy (0.923), counseling effectiveness (0.933), and reproductive health knowledge (0.926). Multiple regression analysis indicated that the three predictors simultaneously explained 51.3% of the variance in reproductive health knowledge (R = 0.716; R² = 0.513; F = 95.551; p < 0.001). In the final model, social media use showed the strongest standardized effect (β = 0.381), followed by counseling effectiveness (β = 0.346) and digital literacy (β = 0.261). The findings imply that reproductive health education in medical education should be managed as an integrated digital education strategy, combining credible social media content, critical digital literacy development, and interactive counseling. The article contributes to educational management by proposing a practical pathway for strengthening evidence-based reproductive health knowledge through digital learning governance.

Abstract

This article analyzes health education management strategies for accelerating the reduction of stunting in Minahasa Regency. The study is positioned within educational management because stunting reduction is not only a biomedical intervention but also a managed learning process that requires planning, role distribution, community education, inter-sector coordination, monitoring, and sustainability. A qualitative design was used through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document review involving health workers, posyandu cadres, and affected community members. The findings show that health services for stunting reduction have been implemented through primary health care channels such as puskesmas, posyandu, and referral services. The services include antenatal care, iron supplementation, supplementary feeding, immunization, growth monitoring, nutrition education, and follow-up for children with nutritional problems. However, the target has not been fully achieved because stunting remains a multidimensional problem shaped by socioeconomic conditions, cultural practices, incomplete behavior change, limited human resources, fragmented data, and weak cross-sector integration. The article proposes an integrated health education management model consisting of Division of Work, Promotive Education, Preventive Action, Life-Cycle Approach, Community-Based Action, Integrated Services, and Sustainability. The model contributes to educational management by framing stunting reduction as a coordinated system of learning, behavior change, and public health governance.
