Abstract: The Free Nutritious Meal Program is one of the government’s initiatives aimed at improving students’ nutritional intake and supporting their learning activities at school. Adequate nutritional intake is expected to contribute to students’ readiness and enthusiasm for learning. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Free Nutritious Meal Program on students’ learning spirit at SMK Swasta Harapan Stabat, particularly in relation to students’ learning motivation and the roles of teachers and parents in supporting learning activities. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research was conducted at SMK Swasta Harapan Stabat, involving six informants consisting of one principal, two teachers, and three students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that the Free Nutritious Meal Program has not had a significant impact on students’ learning spirit. Students’ enthusiasm for learning tended to remain relatively unchanged before and after the program was implemented. Furthermore, several obstacles were identified, including decreased student concentration after meals, increased student mobility in and out of the classroom, less conducive classroom conditions, and delays in the learning process. Teachers and parents have provided motivation and learning support; however, their roles have not yet resulted in a significant improvement in students’ learning spirit. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal Program at SMK Swasta Harapan Stabat has not significantly improved students’ learning spirit. Therefore, better coordination between the school, teachers, and parents is needed to ensure that the program supports students’ learning activities more effectively.
