Administrasi keuangan adalah dasar utama dalam mengelola lembaga pendidikan, yang memastikan pembagian sumber daya dilakukan secara transparan dan efisien guna mendukung proses belajar- mengajar. Di era digital saat ini, teknologi seperti spreadsheet Excel telah muncul sebagai jawaban utama untuk mengatasi hambatan administrasi manual, termasuk kesalahan hitung dan pemborosan waktu di bidang pendidikan. Alat digital semacam ini bisa meningkatkan produktivitas hingga 50% di lingkungan kecil, dengan keuntungan seperti penghematan waktu. Namun, di sekolah-sekolah pedesaan seperti SMP di Indonesia, penerapan digital seringkali terkendala oleh kurangnya infrastruktur dan kemampuan sumber daya manusia, sehingga butuh penelitian khusus untuk memahami dampaknya. Administrasi keuangan sekolah meliputi pencatatan pemasukan, pengeluaran, dan laporan bulanan yang tepat. Masalah umum seperti proses manual dengan buku besar sering kali menimbulkan kesalahan matematika, penundaan laporan, dan efisiensi operasional yang rendah, khususnya di lembaga kecil seperti SMP. Penelitian Rusmiati (2025) menyoroti keefektifan alat digital untuk skala kecil dalam transformasi manajemen keuangan sekolah, tapi belum sepenuhnya fokus pada konteks pendidikan pedesaan di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi penerapan keuangan berbasis Excel sebagai solusi digital untuk meningkatkan efisiensi administrasi di SMP Negeri 2 Laut Tador. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Deskriptif Kualitatif dengan pendekatan triangulasi untuk memahami fenomena secara mendalam. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi wawancara mendalam semi terstruktur, observasi partisipan, dan analisis dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi Excel meningkatkan efisiensi melalui penghematan waktu hingga 50%, kemudahan penggunaan, dan pengurangan kesalahan, meskipun ada hambatan infrastruktur awal.

This study aims to analyze how digitalization of governance, particularly through the implementation of e-financial reporting, digital audit trails, and cloud-based data security and reliability systems, contributes to increased transparency, accountability, and data protection in educational institutions. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, this study reveals that digitalization can create a more objective, standardized, and difficult-to-manipulate control mechanism. The e-financial reporting system strengthens transparency through open processes and reduces opportunities for irregularities. Digital audit trails provide authentic evidence that facilitates the process of verification, monitoring, and tracking every administrative activity in real time. Meanwhile, data security supported by layered encryption, automatic backups, and emergency recovery access increases internal and external trust in the integrity of information systems.

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) plays a fundamental role in shaping children's character, moral values, and intellectual potential from an early age. However, many PAUD institutions in Indonesia still face serious challenges in management, where attention is focused more on operational sustainability than on improving educational quality. This study aims to describe the actual condition of PAUD institutions, analyze the causes of weak management, and identify the impact of operational orientation on educational quality. The method used is a literature study through analysis of various sources such as books, scientific journals, research reports, and government policies related to PAUD implementation. The results of the study indicate that weak management is caused by limited human resources, low managerial competence, minimal funding, weak planning, and a lack of supervision and community support. The impact is seen in the decline in educational quality and low public trust in PAUD institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen quality-based management that emphasizes improving educator competence, community involvement, effective management of infrastructure, utilization of educational technology, and implementation of continuous evaluation. Professional and adaptive PAUD management is key to realizing superior, high-quality institutions that are relevant to the developmental needs of early childhood in the modern era.

This research stems from the urgency of the role of public relations in Islamic educational institutions, particularly madrasas, which is increasingly complex and strategic in the current digital and information era. Public relations is not only tasked with disseminating information but also with building an image, maintaining public trust, and managing effective communication between the madrasa and various stakeholders such as students, parents, teachers, and the wider community. This study aims to identify and analyze the application of ethics and professionalism in public relations at SMP Plus Darus Sholah in Jember and its impact on the institution's image and public trust. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that the application of Islamic ethical values—such as shiddiq (honesty), amanah (trustworthiness), and tabligh (transparency)—in public relations practices significantly enhances the madrasa's credibility and public trust. Additionally, the professionalism of public relations officers, characterized by structured communication planning and interpersonal ethics, plays a crucial role in building a positive institutional image. However, challenges such as a lack of formal training and understanding of ethical standards remain. The implications of this study highlight the need for policy recommendations to enhance the capacity and integrity of public relations personnel in Islamic educational institutions to support their role as the forefront of institutional communication.

Penelitian ini membahas penempatan Guru Pendidikan Agama Katolik di Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah, khususnya terkait distribusi yang belum merata antara wilayah perkotaan dan daerah. Fakta menunjukkan bahwa sejumlah kabupaten mengalami kekurangan guru, sementara di daerah lain justru terjadi kelebihan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang melatarbelakangi keengganan guru ditempatkan di daerah, serta alternatif solusi pemenuhan kebutuhan tenaga pendidik. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian campuran (mixed methods) dengan penyebaran kuesioner kepada 348 responden guru Katolik dan wawancara mendalam dengan beberapa guru. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor utama keengganan guru ditempatkan di daerah adalah: kesejahteraan guru, keterikatan dengan keluarga dan lingkungan sosial (71,8%), keterbatasan aksesibilitas dan infrastruktur (10,6%), minimnya jaringan komunikasi (9,7%), serta tantangan sosial dan budaya (7,7%). Selain itu, kurangnya pemerataan pembangunan fasilitas pendidikan, rendahnya layanan pendidikan, serta terbatasnya distribusi guru berkualitas turut memperparah situasi pendidikan. Sebagai solusi, pemenuhan kebutuhan guru dapat dilakukan melalui kerja sama dengan Lembaga Keagamaan Katolik (keuskupan, kevikepan, dekenat, paroki, wilayah, dan stasi) sebagaimana diatur dalam ketentuan teknis Kementerian Agama. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah perlunya kebijakan afirmatif untuk pemerataan distribusi guru Agama Katolik dengan memperhatikan kesejahteraan, aksesibilitas, serta dukungan kelembagaan agar pendidikan agama Katolik dapat terselenggara secara merata di seluruh wilayah Kalimantan Tengah.

Equal access to education is a crucial issue in Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia. Ensuring that all students, without exception, have equal access to quality education is vital for the advancement of education in the country. In this context, Management Information Systems (MIS) play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of educational services. The implementation of MIS can streamline administrative processes, improve decision-making, and facilitate more equitable access to educational resources. This research employs a literature study approach, relying on books and journal articles as primary sources. The findings indicate that the application of MIS provides significant benefits in terms of planning, management, and evaluation. By providing real-time data, MIS enables educational institutions to make better decisions, monitor student progress, and allocate resources more effectively. Additionally, MIS enhances the transparency of educational services, ensuring that all stakeholders—students, parents, and educators—have access to important information related to educational processes and outcomes. However, challenges in the implementation of MIS remain, such as technical barriers related to inadequate infrastructure and limited access to technology, as well as human resource issues like insufficient training. To address these challenges, the research recommends providing comprehensive training programs for educators and administrators, investing in technological infrastructure, and promoting data integration across educational institutions. Overall, while MIS offers many advantages in promoting equal educational access, addressing technical and human resource challenges is crucial to fully realizing its potential in Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia.
