Education plays a fundamental role as the primary foundation for shaping character, personality, and mastery of knowledge. From an Islamic perspective, the position of teachers is crucial, as they are not merely instructors but also serve as moral, spiritual, and social guides for students. This study aims to explain the uniqueness of teachers from an Islamic perspective by highlighting their status, role, and relevance in contemporary education. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative with a literature review, conducted through a review of relevant literature. The findings indicate that teachers are viewed as respected figures and agents of change responsible for instilling values ​​of faith, knowledge, and noble morals in future generations. However, current reality shows that respect for teachers is often declining, as this profession is often viewed as merely a formal job without considering the inherent noble values. Therefore, this study emphasizes the urgency of renewing public understanding regarding the uniqueness of teachers from an Islamic perspective, so that their strategic position and role are maintained. The recommendations from this study invite all elements, including society, students, and policy makers, to increase respect for teachers, while teachers themselves are expected to continue to improve their professional competence, provide real examples, and serve with full sincerity for the sake of realizing a generation that is intelligent, knowledgeable, faithful, and has good morals in accordance with Islamic guidance.

This study examines the implementation of the local workforce priority policy in Bekasi Regency during the first six months of the new Regent's leadership (January–June 2025). Although Bekasi is known as a large industrial area with extensive job opportunities, February 2025 data shows that the Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) remains high, at 8.87%, or far above the national average. This condition indicates that the policy based on Regional Regulation (Perda) No. 4 of 2016 has not been running optimally. The analysis results show that the policy implementation faces structural obstacles, one of which is the practice of co-optation in the form of brokering, nepotism, and rent-seeking, which undermine the principle of meritocracy. This situation has resulted in a decline in the quality of human resources recruited by companies and limited opportunities for local job seekers who actually have adequate competence. This report also discusses the legal aspects of the local priority policy, which essentially must be consistent with the principle of non-discrimination and the Supreme Court's decision emphasizing the importance of professionalism in the workplace. Thus, the existence of this policy is not only related to job opportunities, but also concerns the integrity of labor governance. To increase its effectiveness in the future, a comprehensive strategy is needed that includes strengthening regulations to be more adaptive to industry dynamics, increasing transparency and accountability in the recruitment process, developing the capacity of local human resources through targeted training programs, and strict monitoring and law enforcement mechanisms against abuses of authority. Through this integrated effort, it is hoped that the local labor priority policy in Bekasi Regency will not only be a formal instrument but will also be able to have a real impact in reducing unemployment and strengthening the competitiveness of the local workforce amidst the currents of industrial globalization.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Public Service Standards in inpatient services at Dumai City Regional General Hospital (RSUD) as an important part of the provision of health services to the community. Public service standards are needed to ensure service quality, efficiency, transparency, and public satisfaction as service users. However, in practice, various problems are still found, particularly related to the timeliness of service, clarity of service costs, and the availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with research subjects including hospital management, inpatient service staff, and community service users. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation studies to obtain a comprehensive picture of the implementation of public service standards. The data obtained were analyzed using thematic analysis methods through the stages of data transcription, coding, theme identification, theme grouping, and data interpretation. The results of the study indicate that the overall implementation of Public Service Standards in inpatient care at Dumai City Regional General Hospital is in the good category. Indicators of service procedures, service products, and the competence of service providers have been implemented quite optimally, characterized by clear procedures, services that meet patient needs, and friendly and professional staff attitudes. However, the service completion time and cost indicators are still in the fairly good category, which indicates delays in service and limited information regarding costs received by patients. Furthermore, facilities and infrastructure are the indicators that require the most attention, especially regarding the comfort of the waiting room and the completeness of service support equipment. In conclusion, although the standard of public service at the Dumai City Regional Hospital inpatient has been running well, continuous improvement efforts are needed to increase service time efficiency, cost transparency, and the provision of facilities and infrastructure to increase public satisfaction and trust in health services.

This research adopts a normative juridical approach, focusing on legal norms, doctrines, and principles related to the Inspectorate's responsibility in supervising problematic BUMDes management from a criminal law perspective. Supervisory planning begins with the Regional Inspectorate preparing an Annual Supervisory Work Plan (RKPT), which outlines oversight activities for the year. Internal supervision and criminal law serve different but complementary roles: the former is preventive, aiming to detect irregularities early, while the latter is repressive, addressing legal violations. The synergy between both mechanisms is essential for transparent and efficient BUMDes financial management. Strengthening the Inspectorate’s role requires improving its institutional capacity and enhancing the competence of its personnel. This includes developing technical auditing skills and a deep understanding of criminal law related to village fund misuse. Professional auditors with legal insight are crucial for early detection of fund misappropriation, thereby fostering integrity and accountability in village financial governance.

This study aims to uncover teachers' views on the impact of certification on the quality of teaching and their welfare. Teacher certification is a government program that aims to improve the quality of education through professional recognition of teachers who have met certain competency standards. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method through a literature review of various journals and relevantiliteratureisources. Theiresultsiof theianalysis show that a number of teachers experienced an increase in pedagogical competence, self-confidence, and teaching enthusiasm after obtaining certification.
