Abstract

Abstract— The research aims to provide quality education for the indigenous community by conducting an analysis of planning related to students, curriculum, education funding, educational facilities, and school-community relations in order to provide guidance and recommendations that can improve the quality of education in the traditional schools of Batara Papring Village, East Java. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a case study method, employing data collection techniques involving observation, interviews, and document analysis. The data obtained are comprehensively analyzed to understand the current situation and evaluate aspects that need improvement in educational planning in the traditional schools of Batara Papring Village, East Java. The analysis results indicate several challenges in the management of the traditional schools, particularly in educational planning. Firstly, the limited number of students and the variation in individual educational needs require careful attention in curriculum planning. Secondly, limited education funding constrains the ability of the traditional schools to provide adequate facilities and resources. Thirdly, existing educational facilities need to be renovated and enhanced to create a more effective learning environment. Based on the analysis results, several recommendations have been proposed. Firstly, a curriculum review is necessary, considering the current educational needs and trends as well as the students' needs. Secondly, efforts should be made to seek additional funding sources through partnerships with external parties, social funds, or donation programs. Thirdly, investment is needed to improve and enhance educational facilities, such as adding infrastructure. This research contributes significantly to the educational planning in the traditional schools of Batara Papring Village. The proposed recommendations are expected to enhance the quality of education, create a better learning environment, and improve educational accessibility for students in the traditional schools of Batara Papring Village, East Java
