PUTRI NURHALIZA (2026). Students' Perceptions of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) at SMA Negeri 1 Jaya, Aceh Jaya Regency. [Thesis. Syiah Kuala University]. Under the supervision of Dr. Saiful, S.Pd., M.Si. and Hasbi Ali, S.Pd., M.Si. The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is a government initiative aimed at improving students’ nutritional status and supporting the quality of education through the provision of nutritious meals in schools. SMA Negeri 1 Jaya, Aceh Jaya Regency, is one of the schools implementing this program. However, studies specifically examining students' perceptions as the primary beneficiaries of the program are still limited. This study aimed to: (1) determine the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program at SMA Negeri 1 Jaya, Aceh Jaya Regency; (2) explore students' perceptions of the Free Nutritious Meal Program. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research subjects consisted of 24 students selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that: (1) the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program at SMA Negeri 1 Jaya had been carried out quite well. The program was implemented regularly on school days, with meal distribution conducted around 12:00 p.m. through classroom-based distribution and direct queuing systems, involving teachers in the implementation process and supported by clean and comfortable distribution facilities; (2) Students' perceptions of the Free Nutritious Meal Program were generally positive. Most students expressed satisfaction with the program because it helped meet their nutritional needs during school hours, reduced daily food expenses, increased their motivation to attend school, and provided meals that were considered clean and safe for consumption. Nevertheless, some students reported that the menu variety was limited and that the taste of the meals was sometimes too salty or bland. The study concludes that: (1) the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program at SMA Negeri 1 Jaya has been carried out effectively with no significant obstacles encountered during its implementation; and (2) students have positive perceptions of the program because it provides benefits for their nutritional needs and learning activities, although several aspects still need improvement, particularly regarding menu variety and meal taste. The recommendations of this study are: (1) the school should continue supporting the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program to ensure its optimal operation; (2) program implementers should improve menu variety and meal quality while maintaining food hygiene and safety; and (3) future researchers are encouraged to conduct studies with broader coverage and a larger number of participants.
