Abstract

Students' interest in pursuing higher education is influenced by various factors, including the roles and networks of actors within the school environment. This study aims to describe how actor networks at SMAN 2 Cibinong collectively work to shape students' interest in continuing their studies to a higher level. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation from seven key informants at the school. The research was conducted from September to November 2024 at SMAN 2 Cibinong, Bogor Regency, West Java. The findings indicate that programs such as Campus Expo, additional tutoring sessions, and alumni mentoring play a crucial role in increasing the number of students admitted to national universities.
