Abstract

This article examines the role of free education as a strategic solution to reducing school dropout rates in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study analyzes current policies, community-based initiatives, and alternative education models to understand how free education impacts educational continuity among low-income students. Findings indicate that free education policies have significantly alleviated financial barriers, especially through programs like Bantuan Operasional Sekolah (BOS), which reduce operational costs for schools. Additionally, alternative models such as Sanggar Kegiatan Belajar provide flexible learning options that cater to students facing unique social and economic challenges. The study highlights the need for a multi-dimensional approach to make free education more inclusive and sustainable. Recommendations include enhancing financial support to cover indirect costs, expanding alternative education initiatives, and strengthening community engagement to foster a supportive environment. Ultimately, this study underscores the effectiveness of free education policies in reducing dropout rates, while emphasizing the importance of additional supportive measures to address hidden costs and improve educational quality across Indonesia.
