Implementasi Kebijakan Program Indonesia Pintar di Institut Syekh Abdul Halim Hasan di Kota Binjai

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi kebijakan Program Indonesia Pintar (PIP) di Institut Syekh Abdul Halim Hasan di Kota Binjai. Program Indonesia Pintar merupakan kebijakan pemerintah yang bertujuan meningkatkan akses pendidikan bagi peserta didik dan mahasiswa dari keluarga kurang mampu agar dapat melanjutkan pendidikan secara layak dan berkelanjutan. Dalam pelaksanaannya, implementasi kebijakan PIP memerlukan koordinasi yang baik antara pemerintah, pihak institusi pendidikan, serta penerima bantuan agar tujuan program dapat tercapai secara optimal. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Informan penelitian terdiri dari pihak pengelola program, pimpinan institusi, staf administrasi, dan mahasiswa penerima Program Indonesia Pintar. Analisis data dilakukan melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan Program Indonesia Pintar di Institut Syekh Abdul Halim Hasan Kota Binjai telah berjalan cukup baik, terutama dalam aspek penyaluran bantuan pendidikan kepada mahasiswa yang memenuhi kriteria. Program ini memberikan dampak positif terhadap keberlangsungan pendidikan mahasiswa, mengurangi beban biaya pendidikan, serta meningkatkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa penerima bantuan. Namun demikian, masih terdapat beberapa kendala dalam pelaksanaannya, seperti keterbatasan sosialisasi program, proses administrasi yang cukup panjang, serta keterlambatan pencairan dana bantuan. Selain itu, validasi data penerima bantuan juga menjadi tantangan dalam memastikan ketepatan sasaran program. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP) policy at the Syekh Abdul Halim Hasan Institute in Binjai City. The Smart Indonesia Program is a government policy aimed at improving access to education for students from low-income families so they can continue their education properly and sustainably. Implementing the PIP policy requires good coordination between the government, educational institutions, and aid recipients to optimally achieve the program's objectives. The research method used was descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation. The informants included program managers, institutional leaders, administrative staff, and students receiving the Smart Indonesia Program. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the implementation of the Smart Indonesia Program policy at the Syekh Abdul Halim Hasan Institute in Binjai City has been quite successful, particularly in the distribution of educational aid to eligible students. This program has had a positive impact on the continuity of students' education, reducing the burden of educational costs, and increasing the learning motivation of recipients. However, several obstacles remain in its implementation, such as limited program outreach, a lengthy administrative process, and delays in disbursement of aid funds. Furthermore, validating recipient data is a challenge in ensuring accurate program targeting.
