Abstract

Extreme poverty remains a structural issue that hinders improving the quality of life of communities, especially in areas with minimal access to education, health care, and social protection. This study aims to analyze the role and effectiveness of Community School-based social protection as an alternative community empowerment strategy to break out of the cycle of extreme poverty. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, this study gathered data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies in communities implementing the Community School model. The results indicate that implementing Community Schools as a strategy to address extreme poverty has significant potential to improve the quality of life of children from the poorest families through boarding school education, a vocational curriculum, and a holistic approach involving health support and family empowerment. However, the study also identified significant challenges, such as limited competent teaching staff, incomplete long-term funding, the risk of social and psychological impacts on students, and targeting issues due to suboptimal data validity. Nevertheless, if these challenges can be addressed with appropriate policies, the Community School program has the potential to be an effective intervention in breaking the cycle of extreme poverty in Indonesia.

Abstract

People's Schools are expected to become a strategic instrument in strengthening the socio-economic independence of communities. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ministry of Social Affairs' (Kemensos) People's School policy within the framework of the Social Security System and community empowerment efforts. People's Schools are expected to become a strategic instrument in strengthening the socio-economic independence of communities. This research used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, through analysis of policy documents, in-depth interviews, and observations of program implementation in the field. The results indicate that the implementation of the Ministry of Social Affairs' People's School policy demonstrates a shift from charitable social assistance to more strategic and sustainable empowerment, by providing inclusive education, boarding facilities, and meeting basic needs for children from extremely poor families to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty. Despite its significant potential as an instrument for improving the quality of human resources through strengthening academics, character, and vocational skills, and supporting the placement of graduates, the program's effectiveness is still hampered by challenges related to the distribution and capacity of educators, governance, selection transparency, and the inadequate involvement of appropriate actors. Therefore, strengthening cross-institutional coordination, increasing teacher capacity, and improving governance are key to ensuring that People's Schools operate more adaptively, accountably, and have a maximum impact on the social empowerment of vulnerable communities.
