Abstract

The steady increase of population and the anticipated-demographic bonus have been received nationwide attentions in Indonesia including in the field of education thus led in the initiation of some policies and programs to anticipate. Since 2018, the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) has been working together with several selected high schools across the country to forge Sekolah Siaga Kependudukan (SSK) or the population-focused high schools. Those schools have developed a general policy and designed the curriculum to educate students with various population-related issued both in the national and local arena. Based on the qualitative research in 2 of 5 SSK in the province of Yogyakarta, the article highlights three important topics emerged in their establishment. The schools have opted to voluntarily participate in the program based on the agreement and official supports from both the educational office and BKKBN offices of the province. In doing so, the school have freedom to develop both the internal policy and the population focused curriculum addressing local population-related issues of their teaching-learning daily program. Yet, the overall program of SSK still need improvement considering the lack of the comprehensive and constructively aligned instructional and assessment tools specifically designed for high school students.
