The Community Service Program (PKM) of the 2025 Indonesian Muslim University Flagship Scheme is implemented at SD Inpres Japing District. Gowa for four months. In this activity Rahmat, S.S., M.Pd. served as head of the service team together with Muhajir, S.S., M.Pd., PhD and Andi Puspitasari, S.Pd., M.Pd. as a member of the service team. It also involved two students from the UMI Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program.
The PKM program is one of three mandatory tasks that must be carried out by a lecturer at UMI as a form of the tridharma of higher education. This PKM aims to form a culture of student literacy to foster Islamic character.
This PKM activity takes the form of literacy training to shape the Islamic character of students at SD Inpres Japing District. Gowa was held on Saturday 11 October 2025 and was attended by 28 students.
In the training material, team leader Rahmat explained literacy activities and their benefits for students. Meanwhile, Muhajir and Andi Puspitasari formed a reading corner in the corner of the classroom which can be used by students to carry out literacy activities in the school environment. In this PKM activity, the team leader and members handed over Islamic-based reading books to students as literacy materials at school. During the next visit on 18 and 25 October 2025, literacy assistance was provided in the classroom and in the school library to find out the usefulness of this activity.
This program received a positive response from school principals, teachers and staff. During the implementation of this activity, the service team was accompanied by the school principal. Mr. Nasaruddin, S.Pd., M.Pd. as the leader/principal of SD Inpres Japing hopes that PKM activities like this can be carried out regularly considering that this program can increase students' enthusiasm for learning and be useful in the learning process. The hope is that in the future this program will not only involve students but can create programs for teachers and staff at the school to improve the quality and management of learning.
