Keywords:
Community Participation, Education Management, Inclusive Education, Local Wisdom, School ManagementAbstract
Education that draws inspiration from local cultural values can contribute greatly to building a more inclusive and sustainable school management system. This research aims to explore school management based on local wisdom as an inclusive model to increase community participation in education. The method applied is Literature Review (LR), which involves analysing previous studies on integrating local wisdom in school management.The findings show that a number of cultural approaches have been applied in various locations, such as the Tri Hita Karana concept in Bali, Panjang Mulud in Banten and Sigaro Malaha in Ternate. These models have been shown to improve the effectiveness of leadership in schools, strengthen community involvement and create learning environments that are more in line with local cultural characteristics. However, there are some challenges in implementing these models, including lack of support from national policy, limited resources, teacher readiness and resistance from some communities. To overcome these challenges, this study recommends several strategies, including strengthening local culture-based education regulations, providing training for teachers and principals, developing cooperation between schools and communities and developing learning modules that emphasise local culture. With these strategies, school management based on local wisdom can be an effective solution to build a more accountable, inclusive and competitive education system.
