Implementation of the National Adiwiyata Program Policy in Silahisabungan 1 High School and SMA Negeri 2 Sidikalang Dairi Regency

Introduction

The quality and quantity of declining school environments can be caused by school management that is not environmentally friendly. The construction of facilities and infrastructure often ignores the principles of environmental preservation, such as the construction of green open spaces that reduce water catchment areas. Negative environmental hygiene behavior such as various forms of pollution/waste, and vandalism towards environmental objects with the culture of "environmental aware" is also a problem. The Government of the Republic of Indonesia launched the Adiwiyata National School program as part of the environmental education strategy. The Dairi Regency Government seeks to improve the quality of human resources through environmentally sustainable education through the achievement of the National Adiwiyata School.

Background of the Study

The Adiwiyata National School program is a program launched by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to improve the quality of human resources through environmentally sustainable education. The program aims to achieve the development of the quality of human resources through the implementation of environmental policies, implementing environment-based curriculum, environmental-based participatory activities, and management of environmentally friendly supporting facilities. The Dairi Regency Government has also implemented the program in two high schools in Dairi Regency, namely SMA Negeri 1 Silahisabung and Sidikalang 2 High School.

Research Methodology

This study uses descriptive methods carried out in two high schools in Dairi Regency. The interpretation or inference of the achievement of the quality of Adiwiyata's school is based on data obtained to find factors that influence the quality of the achievement of the National Adiwiyata School in SMA Negeri 1 Silahisabungan and SMA Negeri 2 Sidikalang.

Results of the Analysis

The results of the analysis show that the implementation of school policy to build environmental culture still requires dissemination. A diverse environment-based curriculum is also faced with uneven teacher qualifications and low school capacity in identifying environmental issues. The perception of students, teachers, and school administrators in environmental management is also not optimal, tends to be passive and has not received adequate space in environmental management activities. The condition of school facilities and infrastructure that supports the care movement and environmental awareness is also not optimal and still requires big efforts to make it happen.

Discussion

The results of this study provide initial data that is useful for planning educational programs in the field of human resource development with environmental sensitivity. The study also highlights the challenges and opportunities that exist in implementing the National Adiwiyata Program in Dairi Regency. By understanding the various challenges and opportunities that exist, hopefully Dairi Regency can produce young people with environmental insight and contribute to preserving nature.

Conclusion

The implementation of the National Adiwiyata Program Policy in Silahisabungan 1 High School and SMA Negeri 2 Sidikalang Dairi Regency is still facing several challenges. The study highlights the need for dissemination of environmental culture, improvement of teacher qualifications, and increase of school capacity in identifying environmental issues. The study also emphasizes the importance of involving students, teachers, and school administrators in environmental management activities. The results of this study can be the basis for developing more effective strategies in encouraging the implementation of the National Adiwiyata Program in Dairi Regency.
