Keywords:
Political Education, Inclusive Schools, Students, Bullying, Community ServiceAbstract
Schools should be safe and supportive places for all students. However, sexual violence, bullying, and intolerance are still common. Inclusive education is the main foundation to ensure that every student receives fair and equal treatment without discrimination. Reality shows that bullying violates the principles of inclusion and equality in education. In this case, political education is essential to overcome bullying by strengthening students' understanding of democracy, pluralism, and human rights. Community service by the University of North Sumatra team at Padamu Negeri High School, Medan, North Sumatra, aims to educate students about bullying and the role of political education in preventing it and building inclusive and safe schools. The results showed students' interest in how political education can be an effective tool in preventing bullying. This service activity succeeded in building students' understanding of the critical role of political education in creating an inclusive and bullying-free school environment. A safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment is likely to be realized with political education. Political education is about political mechanisms and shaping students' character and morality as good citizens.
