Abstract

The existence of legal protection for teachers and students is an essential element in the implementation of education in a country based on the rule of law. This study aims to examine the construction of legal protection for teachers and students in the Indonesian legal system and to analyze the dynamics of its implementation in the practice of education. The methods used are normative legal research with a regulatory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that, in regulatory terms, protection for teachers and students has been formulated in various national legal instruments. However, in practice, there are still discrepancies in understanding, weak institutional mechanisms, and a lack of a balanced protection paradigm. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen a legal protection model that is fair, proportional, and oriented towards the best interests of children without neglecting the professionalism of teachers, including through mainstreaming a restorative justice approach in resolving educational conflicts.
