Smart Indonesia Program Monitoring in Non-Formal Education

Abstract

With the high dropout rate and the relatively high cost of education, the existence of PIP is a solution in helping the poor to return to school. This evaluative research uses a goal-oriented model as developed by Tyler, involving 32 people from the education office, managers of community learning centers, students, and partner institutions. Data were collected through document analysis and unstructured interviews, then analyzed using the approach of Robert K. Yin with pattern matching, explanation, and time crane analysis formulas. The results of the study include: (1) Program socialization has been carried out in a planned manner, (2) The data collection process has been well integrated with the national database, (3) PIP distribution has been delayed due to policy changes, (4) PIP coordination lines have not run optimally due to limited communication lines between the center and the regions, (5) Monitoring and evaluation programs have not been carried out in a planned manner, (6) The PIP program has an impact on meeting school operational costs and increasing student achievement and school participation rates.
