Abstract

This study examines the limitations in the provision and budgeting of educational facilities at MTsN 6 Lima Puluh Kota and the efforts that have been made to overcome these problems, especially those related to the facilities budget. This study used quantitative methods with data collection through questionnaires. The participants of this study involved all parents of students at MTsN 6 Lima Puluh Kota, with a random sample of 86 parents, consisting of 29 parents of students in class VII, 29 parents of students in class VIII, and 28 parents of students in class IX. Data were analyzed using classical assumption tests, such as normality test, multicollinearity test, and heteroscedasticity test. The final analysis was conducted with multiple linear regression, F test, and determination test. The results showed that parental participation and the school committee program had a significant effect on the availability of facilities at MTsN 6 Lima Puluh Kota. The results of the simultaneous test using the ANOVA model show the calculated F value of 39.637, which is greater than the F table of 2.71, with a significance level of 0.000 below 0.05, indicating that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.699 indicates that parental participation and school committee programs explain 69.9% of the variability in the availability of educational facilities. Parents' participation and the school committee program have a significant influence on the availability of education facilities, which supports the theory of community participation in improving education quality. The results of this study reinforce the concept that collaboration between schools, parents and communities can create a better learning environment and support the improvement of educational facilities.
