Abstract

According to data from the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbudristek) in August 2024, the number of children dropping out of school in Indonesia reached 4.6 million. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency from 2014 to 2024, the levels of education that contribute most to the drop out rates are at the junior high school to senior high school levels. In Rarang Batas village, out of a total of 340 teenagers attending junior high school, only 150 continue to senior high school, indicating a significant decline. This issue may be caused by the low level of education and the closed mindset of parents towards the importance of education, as well as the weak economic condition of the family. This study aims to identify and analyze economic limitations, work orientation, and lack of support as causes of drop out among adolescents in Rarang Batas Village. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results of this study indicate that there are 3 impacts of the family environment that are causes of drop out among adolescents in Rarang Batas Village. Namely: 1) Limited access to education 2) Priority of work over school 3) Lack of moral and academic support.

Review

This paper, titled 'ANALISIS FAKTOR PENYEBAB PUTUS SEKOLAH PADA REMAJA DI DESA RARANG BATAS: PERSPEKTIF EKONOMI, ORIENTASI KERJA, DAN DUKUNGAN SOSIAL', addresses a critical and persistent issue in Indonesia: adolescent school dropout rates. Citing alarming national statistics and a significant local decline in Rarang Batas village, the study sets out to explore the multifaceted causes behind this phenomenon. Specifically, it aims to identify and analyze the roles of economic limitations, work orientation, and insufficient social support, employing a qualitative case study approach to delve into the local context. The selection of this topic is highly pertinent, given the substantial number of dropouts reported by national agencies and the particular vulnerability of junior to senior high school age groups. The strength of this study lies in its focused, micro-level examination within Rarang Batas village, which promises to yield context-specific insights often missed by broader analyses. The chosen theoretical lens, encompassing economic factors, work aspirations, and social support, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the interplay of forces compelling adolescents to leave school. The preliminary findings, indicating "limited access to education," "priority of work over school," and "lack of moral and academic support" stemming from the family environment, are compelling and align with common challenges faced in developing regions. While the abstract presents a clear objective and initial findings, the full manuscript will benefit from a more detailed elaboration on the *mechanisms* through which these family environment impacts translate into school dropout. For instance, explaining how "limited access to education" manifests beyond economic constraints or how "priority of work" is negotiated within families would deepen the analysis. As a case study, while rich in detail, the generalizability of findings should be thoughtfully discussed. Future research could consider comparative studies across different villages or regions to identify commonalities and unique challenges, or explore potential intervention strategies based on these identified factors. Overall, this study makes a valuable contribution to understanding a critical educational challenge and lays important groundwork for further localized and policy-relevant investigations.
