Abstract

Indonesian people generally do not have a strong tradition of literacy. This phenomenon also applies to students at school. For this reason, Indonesia government hasinitiated a program of Gerakan Literasi Sekolah or School Literacy Movement (GLS) since 2016. The program aims to build schools as learning organizations for entire academic communities to be more literate through public involvement. However, there is an indication of inconsistency in its implementation between the expected ideals and the implementation practices. This research is conducted to evaluate the implementation of GLS program in SMP Negeri 5 and SMP Pasundan 2 of Cimahi City. By using the Discrepancy Model, the program evaluation is intended to inquire how the compatibility between the expected standards and the actual performance of the program. The advantages of this research can hopefully be beneficial both academically and practically, especially as information and recommendation for all program stakeholders. The findings of this study indicate that the GLS program is implemented by the two schools, but the implementation process is not optimal and there is a gap between the expected standards and the performance of the program. The 15 minutes reading activity that should be carried out every day has not been running consistently and systematically. In fact, the schools have mostly provided support and facilities that adequately meet standards from the physical, academic and social aspects. However, the existing facilities for literacy activities have not had a significant influence on the internalization of the literacy culture of all existing stakeholders, especially students.
