The phenomenon of global population aging has given rise to new needs for educational and empowerment models for the elderly. In Indonesia, particularly in urban areas like East Jakarta, the significant increase in the elderly population poses challenges in terms of digital literacy, healthcare, and social participation. This study seeks to investigate the implementation, perceptions, and effects of the Senior School Pintar (SSP) program as a digital lifelong learning model for the elderly in East Jakarta. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with thematic analysis assisted by NVivo 12 software. Data were obtained from ten respondents, including lecturers, directors, resource individuals, and members of the SSP monitoring and evaluation (Monev) team. The coding process was carried out through First Cycle Coding (descriptive, in vivo, emotion, process, and values) and Second Cycle Coding (themes, relationships, and theoretical constructs). The analysis results yielded four main themes: (1) digital empowerment and lifelong learning, (2) cross-sector and pentahelix col- laboration, (3) transforming participatory hybrid learning methods, and (4) improving the well-being, motivation, and social inclu- sion of the elderly. The monitoring and evaluation activities took place in a hybrid format at 14 RPTRA sites in East Jakarta, including Cipayung, Pondok Ranggon, and Kayu Putih. The SSP program has been proven to improve digital literacy, self-confidence, and the quality of life for seniors through a collaborative approach between universities, government, and the community. This finding con- firms the importance of community-based education models and digital technology in supporting active aging and the development of age-friendly cities in Indonesia. It is recommended that the SSP program be integrated into Indonesia’s National Action Plan for the Elderly-Friendly 2045, accompanied by digital infrastructure support, capacity building for facilitators, and a sustainable evalu- ation mechanism.
