<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the implementation of the planning and maintenance cycle model for educational facilities and infrastructure in improving learning quality and to identify the challenges encountered at SMP Al Ihsan Bintan. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, vice principal for facilities and infrastructure, teachers, and students. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through source, technique, and document triangulation. The findings indicate that the implementation of the planning and maintenance cycle has been carried out but remains suboptimal. Planning is still primarily administrative rather than learning-needs based, while maintenance is largely corrective and lacks a structured preventive system. The main challenges include limited funding, the absence of standard operating procedures, insufficient technical personnel, changes in facility management personnel, and inadequate asset inventory. The study concludes that improving learning quality requires systematic and sustainable management of educational facilities through effective planning and maintenance to maximize the utilization of educational resources.]]>
