Corruption in the disbursement of educational aid funds poses a serious challenge that undermines the effectiveness of education policies in Indonesia, particularly within programs such as the Indonesia Smart Program (PIP) and the Family Hope Program (PKH). Irregularities in fund management, weak supervision, and the lack of transparency and accountability have led to unequal distribution of aid and a decline in the quality of educational services. This study aims to evaluate the impact of anti-corruption policies on the effectiveness of educational fund distribution through a normative approach using secondary data. The findings indicate that the implementation of anti-corruption policies, supported by the digitalization of financial systems, public participation, and institutional reform at the local level, has a significant effect in reducing the misuse of educational funds. However, the effectiveness of these policies heavily depends on political commitment, the capacity of supervisory institutions, and public legal awareness. Therefore, synergy between law, technology, a culture of integrity, and community participation is essential to building clean and equitable education governance in pursuit of Indonesia Emas 2045.

Madrasas and Islamic boarding schools are Islamic educational institutions that have a strategic role in shaping the character, morals, and competencies of students. In addition to carrying out the formal learning process, these two institutions are also centers for moral, spiritual, and social development. In their operations, madrasas and pesantren manage various administrative activities, such as student data collection, attendance recording, grade processing, teacher data management, lesson schedule preparation, and delivery of academic information to related parties. However, many institutions still use manual systems that rely on notebooks or separate applications that are not integrated. This condition poses a number of obstacles, including the high risk of recording errors, duplicate data that is difficult to track, the slow process of recapitulation of grades and attendance, and delays in the delivery of academic information. In addition, manual processes cause administrative management to be less efficient and prone to data loss. As the need for fast, accurate, and accurate information increases, technological solutions are needed that are able to integrate all administrative and academic processes in one centralized system. Web-based information systems are an effective alternative to improve work efficiency, minimize errors, and facilitate access to information for teachers, students, and guardians. With the implementation of a well-managed system, madrasas and Islamic boarding schools are expected to improve the quality of services and support a more modern, structured, and sustainable learning process.

Stunting, also known as growth failure in children, is a condition caused by a child's nutritional needs not being met for a long time, specifically during the first 1,000 days of life. The first 1,000 days of life are the first 270 days (nine months) in the mother's womb plus the first 730 days (two years) of a baby's life after birth. Education is a learning process aimed at developing the potential or quality of thought patterns and knowledge of an individual or group. One of the goals of education is to increase public knowledge. The target group for the first 1,000 days of life is pregnant women.

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of population mobility in Gorontalo Province, focusing on migration patterns, driving factors, and their impacts on regional development. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach based on secondary data from Long Form Sensus Penduduk 2020 and official publications from Badan Pusat Statistik. The findings reveal that Gorontalo City serves as the primary destination for in-migration, while Gorontalo Regency is the main source of out-migration. Economic motives dominate migration drivers, followed by educational and socio-familial factors. Migration contributes to economic growth in destination areas but also presents challenges such as infrastructure disparity and pressure on public services, especially in origin and emerging regions like Boalemo and Pohuwato. These findings highlight the importance of development planning that is responsive to population mobility dynamics to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth.

One of the main elements affecting patron happiness, particularly in educational settings, is the caliber of library services. For students, the library serves as an essential information source. The expectations of users and the actual services offered, however, frequently diverge. Prior research has demonstrated that high-quality services can boost students' enthusiasm for reading and their contentment with library resources. This study's methodology is quantitative and survey-based. The author selected 57 individuals from the population, all of whom were library patrons. Data collecting methods, including questionnaires and documentation, were employed to get the information required for this investigation. The data analysis's findings demonstrated that the library offered its patrons quite good services. The majority of respondents (22, or 38.6%) selected "Satisfied," indicating that they were happy with the facilities and services offered, particularly with regard to staff services and book collections. The lowest, "Not Satisfied," was reported by as many as two individuals, or 3.5%.

The alignment of budget planning with funding sources is a crucial aspect of financial management in Islamic educational organizations to ensure operational sustainability and improve the quality of educational services. This study aims to analyze strategies that can be implemented in drafting and adjusting budget plans with various funding sources, such as government funds, zakat, infaq, waqf, community donations, and student contributions. This research employs the library research method, which involves collecting and analyzing various literature related to Islamic educational financial management. The results indicate that the principles of efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and accountability must be applied in managing educational funds to ensure optimal budget utilization. One of the key indicators for maintaining financial balance is the budget balance ratio, which measures the extent to which an organization’s revenue can cover its expenditures. If the ratio reaches or exceeds 100%, it indicates a surplus that can be allocated for institutional development. However, if the ratio is below 100%, a deficit occurs that must be addressed immediately through cost efficiency strategies, diversification of funding sources, and optimization of productive waqf assets. This study emphasizes that a systematic and sustainable financial strategy is essential for maintaining the financial stability of Islamic educational organizations. By implementing well-structured budget planning, strict supervision, and diversified funding sources, organizations can ensure financial sustainability and enhance the overall quality of Islamic education.

Poverty in Makassar City is a multidimensional problem that not only covers economic, but also social and cultural aspects. The Family Hope Program (PKH) was initiated as a conditional social assistance intervention to ease the burden on poor families through increased access to education and health. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of PKH in improving the welfare of poor families in Makassar, identify socio-cultural factors that affect the success of the program, and explore the obstacles faced by beneficiaries and social companions. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with research subjects including 10 beneficiary families and 3 social companions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document studies, then analyzed thematically using an inductive approach. The results of the study show that PKH contributes significantly to reducing the economic burden of families, especially in meeting children's educational and health needs. The success of the program is influenced by the role of social companions who are communicative and adaptive to the local cultural context. However, complicated bureaucracy, limited access to public services, inaccurate recipient data, and social stigma are the main obstacles that hinder the effectiveness of the program. Awareness and active participation of beneficiaries in carrying out program obligations are also the key to success. The research concludes that PKH needs to be supported by simplifying administrative procedures, strengthening the capacity of companions, and culturally sensitive approaches to increase the impact of programs in poverty alleviation in Makassar City.
