The results showed that the implementation of a co-curricular program could improve students' EQ skills. This is evident from the fact that students who often participate in this program have a high sense of respect, responsibility, empathy, and high motivation. Meanwhile, students who rarely participate in co-curricular programs tend to be indifferent and have low motivation. Supporting factors for the implementation of the co-curricular program are the competence of quality teachers, facilities and infrastructure, and monitoring from the principal of madrasah.
