Education in Indonesia is one of the crucial sectors for national development. This article examines the key aspects of education in Indonesia, including the legal foundations, education policies, the education system, and the challenges faced in implementing education across the country. The discussion begins with an analysis of the National Education System Law (UUSPN) and how government policies, such as the 2013 curriculum, aim to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. This study also explores the important role of character education, the integration of technology in learning, and efforts to improve educational equity in remote areas. Based on a literature review and current statistical data, it is found that despite significant progress, Indonesia still faces major challenges, such as the quality disparity between urban and rural education, as well as limited access to higher education. Therefore, it is essential for the government and all stakeholders to continue efforts to enhance the quality and equity of education in Indonesia to achieve more inclusive and sustainable educational goals.  

The rapid development of digital technology demands character education as well as ethical guidelines for interacting in social media, especially social media manners in Islamic views at Berkah Integrated MTs Palangkaraya. This study aims to assess the validity of teaching modules on adab social media in the view of Islam for class VIII students of MTs Terpadu Berkah. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model at the analysis and design stages. Validation was carried out by four experts, namely 2 material experts, and 2 design experts. The assessment included six aspects: content suitability, alignment with the curriculum, relevance to students, language, layout and design, and learning evaluation. Data were analyzed using a Likert scale to calculate the percentage of validity. The results showed that the teaching module had an average validity of 80%, which included the valid category. This shows that the module is feasible to use in learning. However, there are some minor revisions that need to be made, such as improving visual design, images, fonts, and simplifying language, and adding learning activities that are more interactive and fun. In conclusion, this teaching module can be used as a teacher's guide in learning that helps students understand and apply social media manners in accordance with Islamic values. Additional revisions from validators are expected to increase the effectiveness of the teaching module for students

Learning technology continues to develop as time goes by. Technology is the science of tools and skills that make humans work more efficiently. The implementation of daily learning often follows technological developments in the world of education, as do teachers and lecturers. In the field of education, technology has an influence on improving the quality of education, types of educational technology, information technology and communication and learning technology have a major role in learning. The role of technology in the field of education is as an information center and doing new things to illustrate learning and determine online learning methods. With increasingly developing technology, it can also provide benefits that have both good and bad impacts. One of the developments in technology has had a good influence by increasing self-openness in terms of expanding knowledge as information for all life in the world across borders, places and times. Negative impacts include changes in behavior, morals, rules or morals of life so that they conflict with the moral rules that apply in society. Therefore, to prevent the negative impact of using technology in learning, it is necessary to supervise parents and educators who work together in carrying out teaching and supervising children in using technology. The presence and function of technology in the world of education provides the development and growth of human resources as a determinant in achieving success in education. This kind of thing is caused by human resources themselves which are still lagging behind in using this technology in training. With today's technological developments in education, there are many new innovations to support learning. In this case, one way is to provide changes in educational facilities which are increasingly increasing and developing rapidly through technology.

Digital technology significantly impacts children's concentration. While educational apps and structured media positively influence cognitive development, learning motivation, memory, and problem-solving skills, excessive, uncontrolled use leads to negative effects. These include decreased concentration, language development issues, and dependence on devices, hindering creativity and independence. Rapid, responsive technological interactions accustom children to instant stimuli, making sustained attention difficult. Intense screen exposure can cause impulsivity, distractibility, and reduced focus. Therefore, adaptive and technology-aware parenting is crucial. Parental supervision, balanced integration, and time limits on device usage are essential to maximize benefits and minimize adverse effects on children's concentration and overall development

This study aims to explore the integration of the Expectation-Confirmation Model (ECM) and Task-Technology Fit (TTF) in understanding the sustainability of cloud-based e-learning in educational institutions. Using a qualitative literature review approach, this research examines relevant prior studies to analyze the relationship between task-technology fit, expectation confirmation, and users' continuance intention. The findings reveal that the alignment between e-learning technology features and users' task needs significantly contributes to perceived usefulness and satisfaction, ultimately driving continuance intention. Additionally, external factors such as institutional support and system quality play crucial roles in sustaining usage. The integration of ECM and TTF provides a more comprehensive analytical framework to explain users' post-adoption behavior towards cloud-based e-learning. However, this study has several limitations, including the lack of empirical data and a limited focus on social dynamics and psychological factors. This research offers significant contributions to the development of sustainable e-learning implementation strategies and recommends further studies to address the identified limitations.
