Analisis Best Practice Program Sekolah Keluarga di Kota Bukittinggi

Abstract

Family resilience in Indonesia faces multidimensional pressures reflected in increasing divorce rates, violence against children, and youth involvement in drug abuse and promiscuity. Bukittinggi City, despite having strong cultural traditions based on local wisdom and religious values, has also experienced an increase in divorce cases and domestic violence. In response, the Bukittinggi City Government launched the Family School Program aimed at strengthening the eight functions of the family: religious, cultural, affection, protection, reproductive, educational, economic, and environmental. This study aims to analyze the best practices of this program using five UN-Habitat indicators: impact, partnership, sustainability, leadership, and transferability. The research method used is qualitative exploratory with data collection through in-depth interviews with informants consisting of alumni, active participants, program managers, and sub-district coordinators, as well as participatory observation and documentation. The results show that the program successfully improved emotional control, family communication, and child-rearing patterns significantly. Multi-stakeholder partnerships with technical agencies, religious institutions, and academics are strong, but the private sector has not yet been involved. Program sustainability is supported by the Mayor's Decree and alumni enthusiasm, but funding remains vulnerable as it is entirely dependent on the local budget. Leadership is distributive from the political level to the community level, but is female-dominated with very low male participation. The program has high replication potential and has attracted many regions for comparative studies. In conclusion, this program falls into the category of good practice approaching best practice, but requires strengthening economic impact, diversifying funding, and increasing male participation.
