This study aims to examine the implementation of character education management in developing students’ interests, attitudes, and positive behavior at MAN 1 Ogan Komering Ulu during the 2025/2026 academic year.

Meanwhile, in the evaluation stage, the school conducts continuous monitoring and assessment of students’ character development. The implementation of character education management has been proven to significantly contribute to improving students’ learning interest, shaping positive attitudes, and fostering better social behavior
