Abstract:
The availability of infrastructure is very important to support learning activities, improve school quality, and achieve school goals. The research aims to identify school infrastructure facilities in 6 districts in South Manokwari Regency. As respondents are students from elementary (grades 4, 5, and 6), junior high, and senior high school, as well as school’ teachers and principals. Student samples were determined by the Slovin formula, while school’ teachers and principals samples were determined purposively. Data was collected based on answers from questionnaires assessed using the Likert scale. Thirty-one questionnaires were made in accordance with the Eco-friendly Guidelines for Environmental Care and Culture Schools. The results showed that the infrastructure and educational facilities availability index (IEFI) from schools in South Manokwari is still in the Moderately Available and Available categories. In conclusion; schools in South Manokwari still require a lot of improvement in environmentally friendly infrastructure to form an eco-friendly school.
