This study evaluates the implementation of the Child-Friendly School Program (Sekolah Ramah Anak or SRA) at SDIT Ar-Rahmah Makassar using the CIPPO (Context, Input, Process, Product, and Outcome) evaluation model to provide a comprehensive analysis of its effectiveness. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study collected quantitative data through questionnaires and qualitative data through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the program aligns with student needs and national child protection policies (Context), with adequate human resources, facilities, and a supportive curriculum provided (Input). However, inconsistencies in implementation, particularly in ensuring full student participation, were observed (Process). While the program has fostered a more inclusive and safe learning environment, challenges related to health and safety remain, highlighting the need for increased parental and community involvement (Product). The evaluation also revealed positive outcomes, including improved student well-being, inclusive behavior, and active participation from students, parents, and the community, though further improvements are necessary to ensure sustainability and infrastructure support (Outcome). This study recommends enhanced training for educators, strengthened monitoring systems, and policy development to promote greater student engagement. Adopting a holistic approach through the CIPPO model can enhance child-friendly education programs and create a more supportive learning environment, reinforcing the importance of the program’s continuation and development.
