Abstract

This study aims to identify the key factors influencing disparities in access to basic and secondary education and to examine their implications for learning quality in Timor-Leste. Using a qualitative descriptive method based on literature review and document analysis, the research reveals that the education system in Timor-Leste faces deeply interconnected structural barriers. Geographical isolation, widespread poverty, poor school infrastructure, and a lack of learning resources are the primary obstacles to educational access, especially in rural and remote areas. On the other hand, the quality of education is undermined by low teacher qualifications, limited pedagogical training, and a national curriculum that is insufficiently contextualized to local needs. The use of Portuguese and Tetun as the official languages of instruction further exacerbates learning gaps, particularly for students from communities that speak local languages. These factors contribute to high dropout rates, poor literacy and numeracy outcomes, and a high rate of grade repetition. Although some progress has been made through school construction, teacher training, and curriculum reform, the impact remains uneven across different regions. Therefore, a holistic and sustained approach is urgently needed, involving inclusive policies, investment in human resources, and strengthened collaboration between the government, international donors, and local communities. Improving the education system is essential not only for individual empowerment but also for Timor-Leste’s long-term social, economic, and peacebuilding goals.

Abstract

This article examines the evolving dynamics of judicial power and their implications for the implementation of the rule of law principle in Indonesia. The study specifically addresses the persistent gap between the normative guarantees of judicial independence and access to justice, and their practical realization within Indonesia’s legal and political framework. Employing a combined normative and empirical approach, the research analyzes constitutional and statutory provisions, key Constitutional Court decisions, and the implementation of legal aid programs, particularly those targeting vulnerable groups such as low-income communities and persons with disabilities. Empirical insights were derived from documentary analysis and secondary data related to judicial reform initiatives. The findings reveal that although the legal framework has strengthened the formal autonomy of the judiciary, structural constraints, political interventions, and administrative inefficiencies continue to undermine its independence and the equitable enforcement of justice. These obstacles not only affect the impartiality of judicial decision-making but also challenge public trust and the legitimacy of judicial institutions. Drawing on theories of rule of law and judicial independence, the study argues that a substantive realization of the rule of law in Indonesia requires more than normative affirmation; it demands institutional reform, transparent judicial appointments, and participatory oversight mechanisms. This research contributes to constitutional law scholarship by offering a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between judicial power, political structures, and access to justice, while proposing a reform-oriented framework for strengthening the judiciary’s role in upholding a democratic and equitable rule of law in Indonesia.

Abstract

The August 2025 riots represent a critical juncture in Indonesia’s democratic trajectory, exposing deep structural tensions between institutional reform, social polarization, and the erosion of political legitimacy. This study investigates how Indonesia’s post-riot political dynamics reveal the coexistence of democratic consolidation and legitimacy crisis within a single political framework. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the research analyzes thirty policy documents, major national media reports, and fifteen semi-structured interviews with political elites, scholars, and civil society activists conducted between August and December 2025. The findings demonstrate that while procedural reforms and public participation have expanded—particularly in local governance—persistent elite fragmentation, uneven policy implementation, and ineffective political communication have continued to weaken institutional credibility. These dynamics suggest that democratic consolidation in emerging regimes may not follow a linear path toward stability but instead generate new forms of legitimacy deficit. The study contributes to broader comparative debates by illustrating that consolidation and crisis are intertwined processes, challenging conventional models of democratic endurance in post-authoritarian contexts.

Abstract

The phenomenon of female university students visiting nightclubs often triggers negative societal labeling that shapes their identity and social position. This study aims to explore the motivations behind such behavior, the forms of stigma received, and the psychological and social impacts experienced. Employing a qualitative approach with purposive sampling. data were collected through in-depth interviews with three student informants (X, Y, Z) and supported by additional community informants.    The data were analyzed using a thematic analysis framework to identify recurring patterns of meaning. The findings reveal that motivations include curiosity, peer influence, entertainment needs, and coping mechanisms for academic or family-related stress. The students experience stigmatizing labels such as “party girl” or “immoral,” which contribute to feelings of shame, insecurity, and social withdrawal. Due to the limited number of key informants, the findings cannot be generalized but provide an in-depth understanding of the social victimization experienced by these students. The study highlights how societal stigma functions as a form of secondary victimization that impacts their well-being and social interactions.

Abstract

While youth-led digital activism is increasingly visible across the globe, scholarly understanding of how these dynamics shape political outcomes in South and Southeast Asia remains limited. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how Generation Z in Nepal and Indonesia employs social media to mobilize political action and influence institutional change. Specifically, the research compares the mechanisms through which online platforms facilitate coordination, amplify grievances, and construct collective identity among young activists in both countries. Using a qualitative comparative approach that integrates media content analysis with secondary data from reports and news archives, the study analyzes two key cases: the 2025 social-media-ban protests in Nepal and the digitally driven mass demonstrations in Indonesia. The findings show that digital activism not only accelerates the transition from online engagement to offline mobilization but also generates cross-border ripple effects, where successful youth movements inspire similar actions in neighboring states. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of youth political agency in the digital era and offers insights into the evolving patterns of civic engagement shaped by social media.

Abstract

Corruption is classified as an extraordinary crime due to its widespread impact on governance systems, the national economy, and public trust in Indonesia. Various efforts have been undertaken to combat corruption, including the discourse on applying the death penalty as the maximum sanction for severe corruption offenses. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the death penalty in preventing major corruption cases in Indonesia using a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with selected key informants based on relevant expertise and supported by document analysis of applicable legal regulations and policy reports. This study concludes that the death penalty cannot stand alone as an anti-corruption measure but must be integrated into a broader, systemic strategy that combines both punitive and preventive approaches in a balanced and effective manner. Factors such as the integrity of the judicial system, the risk of miscarriages of justice, and social legitimacy are critical in determining the success of such a policy. Furthermore, public perception of the death penalty is deeply influenced by religious, cultural, and ethical values. This study concludes that the death penalty cannot stand alone as an anti-corruption measure but must be integrated into a broader, systemic strategy that combines both punitive and preventive approaches in a balanced and effective manner.

Abstract

Bloom’s Taxonomy has been a cornerstone of educational theory, providing a structured framework for defining learning objectives, designing curricula, and aligning assessments. This study offers a novel critical perspective by integrating contemporary pedagogical frameworks into the evaluation of Bloom’s Taxonomy and applicability in contemporary educational practices. This study employs a critical literature review method to examine, including technology-enhanced, collaborative, and project-based learning environments. The analysis, based on thematic synthesis, identifies key strengths, such as clarity, systematic organization of cognitive skills, and adaptability for instructional design, alongside significant limitations, including insufficient attention to affective and socio-emotional domains and emerging 21st-century competencies like digital literacy, creativity, and collaborative problem-solving. Furthermore, gaps between theoretical revisions and practical classroom implementation are highlighted, particularly regarding empirical evidence of effectiveness in modern learning contexts. The study concludes that while Bloom’s Taxonomy remains a foundational tool, its continued relevance depends on adaptive, flexible, and context-sensitive applications that integrate cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains while addressing contemporary educational needs. The study recommends integrating digital literacy, collaborative learning strategies, and affective assessment into taxonomy-based instructional design, fostering holistic student development, critical thinking, creativity, and digital competence. The findings underscore the necessity of bridging theory and practice to ensure the taxonomy’s effectiveness in supporting 21st-century learning outcomes.

Abstract

Corruption remains a persistent challenge to governance, public trust, and socio-economic development in Indonesia. This study examines the role of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi, KPK) in fostering an anti-corruption culture, focusing on its dual mandate of enforcement and prevention. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through document analysis of KPK reports, academic literature, and media sources published between 2015 and 2023, with source triangulation applied to enhance validity. Findings indicate that the KPK’s high-profile prosecutions have contributed to a deterrent effect, as reflected in increased public awareness and shifts in perceptions of accountability and integrity. The analysis also shows that preventive initiatives, such as public awareness campaigns, integrity education in schools, and community engagement programs, are associated with increased public understanding of anti-corruption values. However, the effectiveness of these initiatives is constrained by several factors. Institutionally, legal restrictions following the 2019 revision of the KPK Law have limited operational independence. Politically and socially, persistent patronage networks and public tolerance for petty corruption continue to undermine anti-corruption efforts. The study concludes that a synergistic approach integrating enforcement, education, and public participation is essential, and highlights the KPK as a case demonstrating how anti-corruption agencies can function as both legal enforcers and agents of cultural change in developing democracies. The KPK exemplifies how an independent anti-corruption agency can act as both a legal enforcer and a cultural catalyst, offering a model for institutionalizing ethical governance in complex political contexts.

Abstract

This study examines India’s compliance with international human rights standards in the enforcement of criminal law, by addressing the extent to which institutional practices align with international human rights obligations and identifying key factors that hinder such compliance. Despite India’s ratification of major international instruments such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the incorporation of human rights protections in its Constitution, significant gaps persist between legal norms and practical implementation. The study employs a normative and empirical analysis approach, through doctrinal legal analysis combined with descriptive statistical evaluation of secondary data, and relevant scholarly literature to using a three-tier compliance framework consisting of normative, institutional, and outcome dimensions. Key findings reveal that India’s prisons are severely overcrowded, with average occupancy rates of 131% and some facilities exceeding 400%, adversely affecting access to basic amenities, healthcare, and rehabilitation programs. Additionally, approximately 76% of prisoners are undertrial detainees, reflecting prolonged pre-trial detention and systemic inefficiencies that undermine the presumption of innocence. Custodial deaths and instances of torture further highlight gaps in enforcement and oversight, disproportionately affecting marginalized populations. The study identifies a persistent norm-implementation gap, wherein legal frameworks exist but are inadequately enforced due to structural and institutional weaknesses. These findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive reforms while also contributing to the development of an integrated framework for evaluating human rights compliance in criminal justice systems, including modernization of prison infrastructure, expedited judicial processes, strengthened monitoring mechanisms, systematic human rights training for law enforcement, and equitable access to legal aid. The study concludes that addressing these challenges is essential not only for India’s compliance with international human rights obligations but also for establishing a more equitable, effective, and humane criminal justice system that protects the rights and dignity of all individuals.

Abstract

Crime and insecurity, particularly rising incidents of urban theft, kidnapping, and organized street crime, remain critical challenges in Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory (FCT-Abuja), necessitating innovative community-based approaches to complement conventional policing strategies.. This study examined the impact of civic education on community-led crime control participation in FCT-Abuja. A quantitative survey design was employed involving 400 adult residents selected through proportionate stratified random sampling across six Area Councils, with validated structured questionnaires ensuring reliability and representativeness of the data. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with dichotomous (Yes/No) items operationalizing key variables, including levels of civic education exposure and forms of community crime control participation. Chi-square test of independence analyzed the relationship between variables at 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed that 69.6% of respondents had been exposed to civic education programs, while 65.2% participated in community crime control activities. Chi-square analysis (χ² = 56.842, p < 0.001) revealed a statistically significant association between civic education exposure and community crime control participation. Residents exposed to civic education were nearly twice as likely to participate in crime control activities (76.5%) compared to unexposed residents (39.3%), representing a 37.2 percentage point difference. Civic education significantly enhances community-led crime control participation in FCT-Abuja. Policymakers should prioritize targeted expansion of civic education programs in underserved communities, integrate digital and community-based delivery platforms, and institutionalize continuous engagement frameworks to sustainably strengthen community security capacity across all Area Councils.
