Employment policies in Indonesia's palm oil industry often have a significant impact on palm oil workers. Many of the government's efforts to appreciate the existence of workers through regulations have stalled due to low participation by plantation owners and companies. The reality of palm oil workers in Musi Banyuasin Regency indicates the weak knowledge of workers and low participation by plantation owners, which results in a lack of security for palm oil workers' livelihoods. This research uses a qualitative approach, collecting in-depth interviews and participant observation data. The research results show that workers' low understanding of labor regulations causes the working conditions of palm oil workers to become increasingly difficult, as does the low participation of plantation owners in the implementation of labor regulations, which makes regulations increasingly less functional as the main aim of making palm oil workers prosperous.
The Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) is a vital aspect of higher education management, serving as the foundation for educational institutions to ensure service quality and educational excellence. This research aims to identify the challenges in implementing the SPMI policy at Tanjungpura University. It analyzes communication strategies, resources, disposition, and organizational structure that can enhance the success of SPMI implementation in building a quality culture in the university. The study uses a descriptive approach with qualitative analysis, focusing on George C. Edward III's Implementation Model. This model emphasizes that policy implementation success is influenced by various factors, including communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The main findings indicate a limited understanding of the SPMI policy among faculty, department, and program officials. Additionally, there is a lack of inclusive active participation from faculty members and educational staff. The study recommends an increase in the number of Internal Quality Audit (AMI) auditors. The research also highlights progressive efforts and sustained commitment to improving university quality through the legitimacy of the Institute for Learning Development and Quality Assurance (LPPPM) and the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) at Tanjungpura University. Recommendations ensure the involvement of all faculty members and educational staff in SPMI policy socialization, increase the number of AMI auditors, and implement more effective follow-ups on AMI results.

Objective: This paper seeks to thoroughly re-evaluate the strengths of Ghana's nursing and midwifery licensure examination digitization implementation against existing criticisms on preparedness, equity and transition gaps. Method: An in-depth counter-analysis approach drawing extensively from authoritative internal technical documents and monitoring data earlier unavailable refutes identified shortcomings. Results: Experts initially flagged rushed timelines, infrastructure limitations, quality reliability fears and overzealous regional transfers based on policy commentaries. Counter Results: Re-appraisal evidence verifies gradual sandboxing prevented exclusions; proactive investments combated hardware divides; customized tools increased sustainability; integrity reviews maintained standards; consultative practices enhanced adoption; and selective modular emulations enabled locally-appropriate innovations internationally. Scientific Contributions: Multi-sourced project implementation datasets provide granularity revealing calibrated strategic change leadership upholding ethical obligational balances often obscured in policy critiques. Nuanced transition processes prove more resilient to systemic risks. Practical Significance: For global south regulators digitizing credentialing, the case underscores managing adaptable integrations before ambitious overhauls; targeting functional needs authoritatively, co-designing tools democratically and scaling prudently sustains modernization goals equitably. Conclusion: Ghana's nursing and midwifery transformation offers a benchmark in low-resource digitization for human capital development sectors through its reinforcing mixes of customization, capacitation and cooperative advancement. Recommendations: Regional policy learning platforms should document and disseminate more Ghana-like use cases that frugally leapfrogged education infrastructure not through disruptive imports but sustaining indigenous digital public goods targeting local priorities.

The duration of Senior High School (SHS) education was made 4 years when the 2007 Education Reform was initiated. However, in December, 2008, a change of government reverted the duration to 3 years which resulted in two final year examination classes in all senior high schools in Ghana in the 2012 / 2013 academic year. This sparked off much debates in the media and general public outcry over the consequences of the reversion. The study engaged 143 respondents comprising teachers and heads using census sampling from three second cycle schools, Peki Senior High School, Peki Senior High Technical School and Kpeve Senior High Technical in South Dayi District of the Volta Region Questionnaire was used in quantitative design. Key findings included inadequacy of dormitories, dining halls, classrooms, computer laboratories and general resources and difficulty in maintaining discipline among the students. Some strategies adopted to contain the challenges were pairing two juniors in a bed, keeping trunks and chop-boxes on dormitory corridors in order to accommodate more students in the dormitories, and combining classes for students. Recommendations included government speeding up work on on-going infrastructural projects; sourcing additional funds from donors; Parent Teacher Association supporting government's effort and building capacity of teachers on preparation of 'NO' / and 'LOW' Cost teaching to improve teaching and learning outcomes, and adequate supply of technical systems preceding implementation of future new reforms.
