Christian Religious Education (CRE/PAK) teachers play a pivotal role in improving students’ learning achievement. This requires teachers to be actively involved not only in teaching, but also in educating, guiding, and motivating students to participate consistently in learning. PAK teachers also need to identify factors that reduce students’ interest, which may lead to declining achievement. Low learning awareness can be influenced by limited targeted attention from PAK teachers, the school climate, and students’ daily habits in their home and community environments. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the role of PAK teachers in improving student achievement at SMP Negeri 3 Satu Atap Idanotae. Using a qualitative approach, the study employs a literature review, observations, and interviews. The study highlights the importance of teacher support in encouraging students to become more active, disciplined, and responsible learners, which contributes to better academic outcomes.
