Abstract

The existence of the name Kerinchi village in Kuala Lumpur is a trace of the migration of Kerinci residents to Malaysia. The increase in Indonesian migrant workers was parallel to the increase in the Malaysian economy in the 1990s that continues to this day. Although bringing children to settle in Malaysia is not allowed, the practise of bringing children illegally can be found. The study investigated the migration process of Kerinci residents and the education of their children. Data were collected using a qualitative method in Selangor, Malaysia and Danau Kerinci District (Jambi) in 2019 and 2021. The migration process is explained through four main factors, namely (1) lack of job opportunities in area of origin, (2) a higher value work and results in the destination area, (3) intention to have assets and continue children's education, and (4) social and family networks. Further, observations on the educational practises of the children who stay under illegal status show that they went to madrasah schools in the vicinity of PMI's residence because there are no document requirements, followed by returning back to Kerinci to take the Package A exam. Alternatively, migrant workers placed guardians over families with Malaysian citizenship status so that children born in Malaysia could attend formal schools. For the children who live in Kerinci, many of them go to university and some of them work in the formal sector. Migrating to become workers abroad is a form of effort to improve their children's education for Kerinci residents.

Abstract

Low statistical literacy at the village and academic levels remains a major barrier to data-driven development planning in Indonesia. This community service program, Ga-Wat Desa (Village-Visiting Statistical Agents), aims to strengthen village-level statistical literacy and standardize toddler nutritional data governance through a zero-budget collaboration between UIN Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi’s Statistic Corner and BPS Jambi Province’s Desa Cantik program. Using a qualitative descriptive method, field observation, integrated training, and participatory data collection, three student statistical agents conducted field activities in Buluran, Kenali Urban Village, Jambi. Results show that the program, delivered by three student agents across 6 posyandu, standardized WHO anthropometric measurement practices for a target population of 88 toddlers, while providing valuable practicum experience for the student agents. The program operated entirely without a dedicated budget, relying solely on institutional commitment and resource sharing, demonstrating collaborative governance as a replicable model for public service transformation in Indonesian villages.
