- Abstract
Economic factors are often being the reason for lack of education in community, including for people in Jambi city. The low economy status influences their awareness on education, such as less children go to school, lack of environmental awareness and drug trafficking. The establishment of Sekolah Dayung Jambi, alternative of an outdoor school, is expected to reduce school failure. Here, this research aims at describing the Sekolah Dayung Jambi and the impact its establishment for their community. The data for this qualitative study was collected through interview and observations. The results showed that the establishment of Sekolah Dayung Jambi is triggered by the willingness to provide alternative school for improving the society’s awareness on education and their environment. This mission is reached by conducting the early childhood program, reading communities, waste management training, and training on processing lake resources. The presence of Sekolah Dayung Jambi has provided many benefits for the community, such as increasing the number of children who go to school, increasing public awareness of environment, and reducing drug trafficking. All in all, Sekolah Dayung Jambi provides an alternative school for reducing the educational gap cause by low-income status in Jambi communities.
