This study aims to determine the effect of training and competency development on the improvement of competencies among Papuan students in the YPMAK – Binterbusih Scholarship Program. The research is based on the importance of training and development in preparing high–quality and competitive human resources from Papua. A quantitative research method with a survey approach was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to recipients of the YPMAK – Binterbusih scholarship. The results of the analysis indicate that the training variable has a positive and significant effect on student competency improvement, with a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). Likewise, the competency development variable also shows a significant influence with the same level of significance. Simultaneously, the two independent variables contribute 79.3% to the improvement of student competencies, while the remaining 20.7% is influenced by other factors beyond the scope of this study. These findings emphasize that systematically and relevantly designed training and development programs can enhance both the academic and non-academic capabilities of Papuan students. Therefore, it is recommended that YPMAK continue to enhance structured and sustainable training programs to develop a generation of Papuans who are competent and ready to compete at national and global levels.

This study aims to analyze the influence of students' perceptions of Accreditation (X1), Promotion (X2), and Brand Image (X3) on their Interest (Y) in registering, with Cost (Z) serving as a moderating variable. Data were collected from 399 respondents. The validity test results indicate that all research instruments are valid. Meanwhile, the reliability test results show that all variables have Cronbach's Alpha values ranging from "Good" to "Excellent," confirming their reliability. The study's findings reveal that Promotion and Cost are dominant factors with a positive and significant influence on interest in registering. Additionally, Accreditation also has a positive and significant effect on interest. In contrast, the Brand Image variable does not have a significant partial influence on interest. However, when considered simultaneously, Accreditation, Promotion, and Brand Image collectively have a significant impact on interest. The moderation test results demonstrate that Cost significantly moderates the relationship between Brand Image and Interest, indicating that the effect of Brand Image on interest is either strengthened or weakened by cost considerations. In conclusion, to attract prospective students, private universities should prioritize effective promotional strategies and manage perceptions of competitive costs, including the availability of scholarships. While brand image remains important, focusing on tangible benefits reinforced by cost factors will have a greater impact on prospective students' decisions.

The transformation of affirmative action policies in the digital era serves as a strategic step to improve the Gender Empowerment Index (GEM) and accelerate gender equality in Indonesia. These policies focus on enhancing women's access to economic, political, and educational sectors, leveraging opportunities provided by digital technology. However, several challenges remain, such as limited internet access, low digital literacy, patriarchal social norms, and underrepresentation of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) sectors. The government has implemented several initiatives, including a 30% quota for women's representation in parliament, empowering women-owned MSMEs through Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR), and offering scholarships to increase women's participation in STEM and technology fields. In addition, affirmative policies within state-owned enterprises (BUMN) aim to promote female leadership in strategic positions. Despite some progress, the gender gap in the digital economy and the risk of gender-based violence online remain significant issues that require further attention.Policy recommendations include improving access to technology and digital literacy for women, providing incentives for companies that promote gender equality, and strengthening protection against online gender-based violence. Collaboration between the government, private sector, and civil society is essential to ensure the successful implementation of affirmative action policies in the digital era. This transformation is expected not only to enhance the IDG but also to empower women to actively contribute to inclusive and sustainable economic development.

This study explores the role of educational policy implementation in reducing urban-rural learning disparities through scholarship programs. Educational disparities between urban and rural areas have persisted across many nations, affecting student outcomes due to differences in access to resources, infrastructure, and qualified teachers. Scholarship programs have emerged as an effective policy tool to address these gaps, providing financial support and enabling rural students to pursue higher education opportunities. This research examines the impact of scholarship policies on bridging the urban-rural education divide, focusing on the performance outcomes of scholarship recipients compared to non-recipients. The study also discusses the socio-economic barriers and challenges faced by rural students and evaluates how scholarships, along with additional support mechanisms such as mentorship and academic workshops, contribute to improving academic performance. The findings suggest that while scholarships have a significant positive effect on academic outcomes, a more comprehensive approach, including better infrastructure, teacher quality, and socio-emotional support, is necessary to fully address educational inequities. This research provides insights into how well-designed scholarship programs, embedded within broader educational reforms, can effectively reduce disparities in educational access and outcomes between urban and rural students.

The differences lie in the teaching system which is controlled by the center in Turkey, the rules are based on Sufism, the students' learning activities are integrated with the Turkish language, Turkish culture is introduced to the students and the full scholarship for further education in Turkey is given to the students. In this research there are three problem formulations, namely: History and development of the UICCI Syarief Medan Foundation, dynamics, and its contribution to students and society. The approach used by researchers is Sociology. The theory used is Continuity and Change by Jhon Obert Voll. The method used is the historical method, which includes four steps, namely heuristics, verification, interpretation and historiography. The results of this research show that the UICCI Syarief Islamic Boarding School in Medan has a distinctive form and is different from Islamic boarding schools in general. The differences can be seen from the activities at the boarding school which are based on Sufism and tarekat which are followed by Islamic boarding school students, an integrated teaching system with Turkish language and Tekamul education (scholarships for further Islamic education to Turkey). Apart from that, the dynamics that occur at the UICCI Syarief Islamic boarding school can be seen from an educational and economic perspective, namely making UICCI Syarief become the center of Tadris for the Sumatra Island branch and from an economic perspective it can be seen from what was initially free to paid. In terms of contribution, this foundation only focuses on students, preparing student go to Tekamul.
