Since 2018, the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) has been working together with several selected high schools across the country to forge Sekolah Siaga Kependudukan (SSK) or the population-focused high schools.

Based on the qualitative research in 2 of 5 SSK in the province of Yogyakarta, the article highlights three important topics emerged in their establishment. The schools have opted to voluntarily participate in the program based on the agreement and official supports from both the educational office and BKKBN offices of the province.
