This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Seven Habits of Great Indonesian Children (7KAIH)program in madrasahs across East Kalimantan by examining four key dimensions: political, economic, social, and cultural. The program is designed to cultivate students’ superior character, independence, and social awareness, aligning with Indonesia’s human resource development agenda to enhance global competitiveness. The research employed a quantitative-descriptive evaluative approach using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model. Data were collected from teachers, principals, and parents in five madrasahs: MIN 1 Samarinda, MIN 2 Balikpapan, MTsN 1 Tenggarong, MAN 2 Bontang, and MAN IC Paser. The findings indicate that the overall implementation level of the program falls under the “good” category, with an average score of 83.6%. The social and cultural dimensions achieved the highest score (86.4%), followed by the economic (82.7%) and political (81.8%) dimensions. Policy implications emphasize strengthening the role of madrasahs as agents of national character formation, integrating character education into regional policies, and providing sustained economic and social support to ensure long-term program implementation.
