The issue of low teacher competence in Indonesian schools outside of the big cities requires solutions from the outside and inside of the school. From within the organization, Human Capital Management (HCM) provides a beneficial framework for improving teachers' competence and overall school quality. This study aims to understand the low competencies issues and the HCM system in SDIT Ar-Rahmah Rahuning and formulates competency development programs using Lifelong Learning (LLL) approach. In this mixed method research, a survey conducted on teacher competencies in SDIT Ar-Rahmah using the Teacher's Competence model outlined by the Director General of Teachers and Education Personnel in 2023 evaluates four primary teachers' competence (pedagogic competence, personal competence, social competence, and professional competence), followed by a qualitative study on the HCM system, focusing on the competency development program. The study reveals that the average teachers in SDIT Ar-Rahmah indicate the need to improve pedagogic and social competence. Further, the HCM system lacks Professional Development and Performance Management for its teachers. The system is highly reliant on the School Principal, which causes issues with developing Professional Development and Performance Management. A competency development program is formulated using Lifelong Learning approach to ensure continuous improvement throughout the teachers' employment. The program focuses on six key elements: 1) formal and nonformal education, 2) introspection and self-assessment, 3) self-motivated learning, 4) application of knowledge and skills, 5) evaluation and improvement steps, and 6) provision of facilities and tools that foster LLL habits.
