<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the management of science laboratories in junior high schools across Tasikmalaya City, focusing on existing challenges and opportunities for future development. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that laboratory management in most schools does not fully comply with the competency standards outlined in Regulation No. 26 of 2008 by the Ministry of National Education. Key challenges include the absence of trained aboratory staff, poorly documented organizational structures, limited use of digital tools, and a lack of systematic monitoring and evaluation.
