Abstrak
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and identify the obstacles in the implementation of the Program Indonesia Pintar (PIP) at SMP Negeri 01, Tebo Regency. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method utilising both primary and secondary data sources. Data collection techniques included interviews with stakeholders from SMPN 01 Tebo and the Tebo Regency Education and Culture Office, as well as observation and documentation. Informants were selected using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, and the data were subsequently analysed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings indicate that the utilisation of PIP at SMPN 01 Tebo Regency, has not been effective, particularly regarding program socialisation and supervision. Identified obstacles in its implementation include inaccurate targeting of beneficiaries, suboptimal utilisation of funds by students, and limited resources. Therefore, it is recommended that the school increase the frequency of continuous socialisation for beneficiary students. Furthermore, there is a need to strengthen the school's role as a manager in supervising fund allocation to ensure it is utilised appropriately for students' educational needs.
