This research is a quantitative descriptive study with an instrument in the form of a questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out in two ways, quantitative data was analyzed by non-parametric statistics and qualitative data was classified through coding. The population and sample of this study were all 12 teachers. The results showed that (1) all teachers at SDN Kepanjen 01 Kepanjen District, Malang Regency carried out WFH according to the Government Circular Letter, namely the learning planning stage: using it for making lesson plans and discussing with fellow teachers; stages of the learning process: using google forms and WA for student attendance, zoom for delivering material, WA for giving and collecting assignments, youtube and the web for learning media; and the learning evaluation stage: using google forms for PH or PTS and gadgets to correct student evaluation results. (2) The implementation of WFH at SDN Kepanjen 01 encountered various obstacles. (3) Obstacles during WFH are categorized into obstacles in gadgets, internet, material understanding, finance, communication, and level of focus. (4) The solution to the problems experienced is adjusted to the situation and condition of teachers and students' families at SDN Kepanjen 01 so that WFH and BDR can still run optimally. (5) WFH has a positive impact, namely creating a feeling of security because it avoids the spread of covid-19, has more free time, is free to determine work schedules, and automatically reduces transportation costs. While the negative impact is that teachers experience boredom, reduced interaction with colleagues, lowers the quality of performance results, and is addicted to social media. The researcher's suggestions for teachers are that teachers should (1) implement whatever policies have been set by the Principal with full responsibility and enthusiasm; (2) discuss all the obstacles that arise during WFH with the Principal and fellow teachers in order to obtain the most appropriate solution; (3) always teach students to apply health protocols at home; and (4) although WFH has a negative impact, teachers must be able to overcome it in various ways so as not to affect the quality of learning for students.

Lack of parental involvement in supporting children's education is one of the main challenges in efforts to improve the quality of education, especially at the elementary school level. This study aims to identify and analyze the factors that cause minimal parental involvement in children's education at SD Negeri Jatiroke 1. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that low parental participation is caused by several factors, including limited time due to work, low understanding of the importance of involvement in education, and lack of communication between schools and parents. The implications of this lack of involvement are seen in the less than optimal academic and social development of children. Therefore, it is recommended that there be a collaborative program between schools and parents to increase their participation in supporting children's education in a sustainable manner. It is hoped that through this approach, the quality of education at SD Negeri Jatiroke 1 can be improved and children's development needs can be met comprehensively

Taxes are the largest source of revenue in the structure of Indonesia's state budget (APBN). The revenue will be allocated for state spending, one of which is on education. The education sector is a mandatory spending area amounting to 20% of the total state revenue. This paper aims to identify the role of taxes in supporting inclusive education to improve Indonesia's Human Development Index (HDI). The approach used in this research is qualitative with a literature study method using secondary data sources. The research results show that the increase and decrease in tax revenue affect the size of the education budget due to the dominant contribution of taxes to state revenue. HDI is influenced by indicators such as life expectancy, literacy rate, average years of schooling, and real per capita expenditure, all of which can be improved through inclusive education. Therefore, it can be concluded that if tax revenue increases, the education budget will also increase, and it will be able to fund inclusive education. Inclusive education will drive the increase in Indonesia's HDI. Some of the educational issues that occur include education that is not yet fully inclusive, the low quality of teachers, and the uneven distribution of school facilities and infrastructure. These problems can be resolved if there is significant educational funding, which is also influenced by tax revenue.
