Objective: This study examines the impact of the 7th Batch Teaching Campus Program,
part of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) initiative, on enhancing literacy,
numeracy, and the overall learning environment at Tikung Islamic Junior High School.
Methods: Employing a combination of observation, discussion, and program
implementation, university students collaborated with school staff to design activities
such as literacy and numeracy games, interactive media, and teacher training. This
structured work program, developed through the School Communication and
Coordination Forum (FKKS), included activities like the Student Work Gallery, Visual
Voyage, and a Mathematics Fair, aiming to foster creativity, critical thinking, and
engagement among students. Results: The program significantly improved students'
literacy and numeracy skills, fostered a more interactive and enjoyable learning
environment, and equipped students with essential digital skills. Teachers also benefited
from training, enhancing instructional effectiveness. Novelty: By integrating communitybased teaching initiatives with structured school programs, this study offers an
innovative model for school-university partnerships in underperforming educational
settings, highlighting scalable strategies for sustained educational enhancement.
Conclusion: The program demonstrates a sustainable and impactful approach to
improving educational quality through collaborative efforts between university students
and secondary schools, contributing to a holistic and inclusive learning experience.
