A university considered excellent in this century is a global university. Universities across Indonesia have also taken the initiative to move in this direction by improving various facilities and infrastructure. The desire to implement, develop, and enhance education, research culture, and community service programs aims to improve academic quality by advancing superior knowledge that benefits societal transformation for a better life. Additionally, universities strive to continuously improve the quality of learning management to achieve excellence in national and international competition and collaboration. This vision, mission, and goal are generally shared by campuses throughout Indonesia.

Therefore, facilities that support students' development and innovation within the campus environment are needed. One example is the construction of a Student Activity Center.  

This study aims to analyze the implementation of social welfare values contained in the Qur'an and Hadith at Zainul Hasan Islamic University Genggong (UNZAH). Social welfare in Islam encompasses material, moral, and spiritual aspects, emphasizing the importance of social concern and solidarity among individuals. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study, where data is collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that UNZAH has implemented various social welfare programs, such as scholarships for underprivileged and outstanding students, as well as fundraising for the community. Values such as concern, justice, and solidarity are implemented in real activities that involve active participation from the academic community.

This study recommends expanding the scope of scholarship programs and increasing student involvement in social activities, as well as utilizing technology for fundraising. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for other universities in integrating social welfare values based on Islamic teachings into their policies and campus activities.

This research examines the influence of the existence of zoned schools on equal access to education in Malang district. The problems in this research are the pros and cons of school principals, teachers, parents and students regarding the school zoning system in Malang district. Based on research conducted by researchers, many school principals, teachers, parents and students do not agree with the existence of a school zoning system.

On the other hand, from the teacher side, teachers are very depressed and stressed because they find so few talented and high-quality students in the learning process at school. This research uses qualitative methods in the form of interviews with school principals, teachers, parents and students in the school environment. The research results prove that in the absence of an educational zoning system in Indonesia, you will find many students who excel and excel in elementary, middle and high school.

However, this has led to a decline in the quality of education in Indonesia through the school zoning system.    

The determination of outstanding students is based on different criteria, depending on the type of achievement that is to be measured. At SMK Migas Cepu, this assessment is typically based on the highest academic score from the class promotion exam. However, this method is considered less accurate and problematic in terms of grouping students. To address this issue, a clustering method using the K-Means algorithm can be applied. The purpose of this research is to build a K-Means model to determine outstanding students. The data used in this study comes from the report card ledger of class XI Machine A and B for the year 2022, which includes 71 students at SMK Migas Cepu. The RapidMiner tool was used to build the K-Means model and cluster the data based on student characteristics. The first test conducted using Excel resulted in two clusters: 35 outstanding students and 36 non-outstanding students. Meanwhile, the second test using the RapidMiner model produced two clusters with a distribution of 26 outstanding students and 45 non-outstanding students.

This study develops a Decision Support System (DSS) for selecting outstanding students at SDN Kedunglumbu using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. The main goal of this DSS is to help the school determine outstanding students more objectively and efficiently. The SAW method was chosen for its ability to provide weighted sums of relevant criteria, ensuring accurate and fair decisions. The system development follows a waterfall approach, with structured stages from planning to implementation. The evaluation criteria include PPKN, Indonesian Language, Science, Social Studies, and Mathematics, with seven students as the evaluated alternatives. The implementation of the DSS successfully displays information about outstanding students clearly, with Natasha Cahya Putri Ayu selected as the outstanding student with the highest preference score of 0.786. System testing using the blackbox testing method confirms that the system operates as expected, and calculations using the SAW method are consistent with manual calculations. Overall, the developed DSS successfully facilitates the selection process of outstanding students efficiently and objectively, while the SAW method proves effective in providing reliable results and supporting better decision-making in the educational environment.

Recognizing outstanding students is an essential strategy to encourage learners to improve their academic performance and overall learning quality. However, the process of selecting the best students at SMK Negeri 1 Raman Utara still encounters significant challenges due to the complexity of the evaluation criteria, which include academic achievement, attendance, participation in extracurricular activities, and student behavior. The current manual selection method is considered less effective because it is time-consuming and susceptible to subjectivity in decision-making. This study aims to address these issues by developing a technology-based Decision Support System utilizing the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. SAW was chosen for its efficiency in solving multi-criteria problems through matrix normalization and preference weighting for each alternative. The development process includes requirement analysis, system design, and the implementation of an automated ranking mechanism for student candidates. Based on the testing results, the implemented system can process assessment data rapidly and produce accurate and objective rankings of high-achieving students. The system offers a practical solution for the school by enhancing transparency and validity in the selection process, minimizing human calculation errors, and supporting more equitable and data-driven decision-making.
