Devina Ratna Suryani — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Hybrid Learning Policy at Horizon Education Karawang. The Hybrid Learning Policy is implemented based on a Joint Decree (SKB) of Four Ministers, namely the Minister of Education and Culture, Minister of Religion, Minister of Health and Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia in 2021. The SKB stipulates that the implementation of teaching and learning activities in the new normal era is carried out with a limited learning mode that combining offline and online or hybrid learning that follows health protocols. But in reality, it turns out that Horizon Education Karawang, which is a type of middle low campus, is still unable to implement the SKB, as evidenced by the implementation of Hybrid Learning in just 28 courses. Researchers use a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews and documentation studies. Informants selected in this study are those who truly understand and can provide information related to Hybrid Learning at Horizon Education Karawang, West Java. From the results of research in the field it turns out that the facility factor is an obstacle to the implementation of Hybrid Learning.

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study analyses the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) as an effort to reduce stunting in West

Java within the framework of the SDGs, specifically the Zero Hunger goal. Although the prevalence of stunting in West Java

has decreased to 15.9% in 2024, the MBG program faces a number of challenges. Based on interviews with kindergarten

teachers, junior high school students, and the West Java Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda), it was

found that the objective of the MBG is understood as providing nutritious food to improve children's health. However, the

program's target is not appropriate because stunting mainly occurs in children under five years of age, while the MBG

targets elementary to high school levels. The implementation of the MBG program varies between schools and regions,

including differences in menus, distribution, and coordination.

The Jakarta Gubernatorial Election (Pilkada DKI Jakarta) is widely recognized as a highly dynamic political contest and often serves as a barometer of national political trends in Indonesia. The characteristics of urban voters, who tend to be critical, responsive, and highly exposed to information cause shifts in public perception toward candidates to occur rapidly. This article analyzes the dynamics of public perception toward the Pramono Anung–Rano Karno ticket in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election, based on survey data conducted by Charta Politika Indonesia in July, September, and November 2024. The July survey represents the baseline condition prior to the official declaration of the ticket, while the September and November surveys capture changes following the formation of the candidate pair in late August 2024. The analysis focuses on three key indicators: electability, reasons for voting, and the level of vote certainty. The findings reveal a significant increase in electability after the declaration, indicating growing public acceptance of the combination of Pramono’s technocratic image and Rano’s affective–populist appeal. The level of vote certainty also increased in the final survey, suggesting a consolidation of electoral support. These findings demonstrate that a complementary image strategy and effective political narratives can influence urban voter preferences within a relatively short period of time.

This research aims to analyse the role of the Smart Indonesia Card for Higher Education Programme (KIP-K) as a government policy instrument in ensuring equitable access to educational services for underprivileged communities in the City of Tasikmalaya. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques involving in-depth interviews, observation, and documentary analysis that include beneficiary students as well as programme administrators at higher education institutions. Data analysis was conducted thematically, applying source and technique triangulation to ensure data validity. The findings indicate that KIP-K functions effectively as an affirmative state policy in reducing structural barriers to educational access, promoting study continuity, and strengthening the academic responsibility of aid recipients. However, the effectiveness of policy implementation continues to face challenges related to administrative procedures, inadequate policy dissemination, and limited information literacy among target groups. This research concludes that KIP-K represents a relevant public policy instrument in realising the principles of social justice and the fulfilment of citizens' constitutional rights in the field of education. The limitations of this study lie in its geographical scope and qualitative approach, thus necessitating further research with a broader methodological design.

Institutional Reconstruction Of Civil Servant Housing Savings Management After The Constitutional Court Decision Toward Autonomous And Just Governance

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Constitutional Court Decision Number 96/PUU XXII/2024, which declared Law Number 4 of 2016 on Public Housing Savings (Tapera) conditionally unconstitutional, has fundamentally altered the national housing policy landscape. This study aims to formulate a model for institutional reconstruction of the management of Civil Servant Housing Savings (TAPERUM PNS) funds following the annulment of the mandatory nature of participation. The research employs a qualitative approach with a policy analysis design. The findings indicate that the mandatory provision in Article 7 of the Tapera Law violates the principle of justice because it creates a double burdenoverlapping with other social security schemes. In addition, the merger of assets of the former Civil Servant Housing Savings Advisory Body (Bapertarum PNS) under Article 77 risks eliminating the characteristics of a trust fund owned by civil servants.
The liquidation of Bapertarum PNS into the centralized BP Tapera model has proven problematic, as it creates service uncertainty for civil servants after the Constitutional Court decision. This study recommends institutional reconstruction by establishing a more autonomous housing contribution fund management entity for civil servants, in the form of a State Owned Legal Entity, and separating it from public funds to ensure accountability and alignment with the characteristics of state civil service administration.
