Abstrak

Children are the next generation of the nation's ideals who have rights, one of which is to obtain education. However, many children are unable to get an education due to various factors such as government policies that are not on target as well as economic and social factors in the family and environment. This then creates children who drop out of school or children who are left behind academically. This phenomenon is even more concerning after it is known that children with educational problems are generally aged 7-12 years or elementary school age children. For this reason, a community was established that aims to provide basic education and child strength-based education through non-formal education so that children can get the education they deserve at school. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of Sikkola Rakyat Community in providing basic education and child strength-based education in Starban, Medan Polonia Sub-district. Data collection techniques are done by literature study, observation, interview and documentation. The data obtained in the field is then analyzed and explained qualitatively with descriptive research methods. This research uses the theory of the role of Sikkola Rakyat Community and the theory of community roles according to Jim Ife and Frank Tesoriero. So that the results of the research show that the Sikkola Rakyat Community plays a role in providing basic education and strength-based education for children in Starban even though the community has a role to play.
