Abstract:
The research examined the reasons behind student dropouts and the efficacy of interventions, emphasizing the
value of resources, leadership, and stakeholder involvement while also pointing out the need for increased
community support and family involvement. Thus, this study yearned to identify the issues of student dropout
as a significant challenge for educational administrators worldwide, with various underlying factors
contributing to premature school departures. Qualitative study was used as an approach for this study using
Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to gather information to clarify the participants' varied viewpoints, requirements,
and preferences from students at risk of dropping out (SARDOs), parents, and teachers, particularly in relation
to the school's intervention processes. Additionally, the interviews were semi-structured, giving participants
the freedom to freely express their opinions and go deeper into subjects and issues. Additionally, this study
also employed quantitative methods to obtain crucial information from the participants, paying special attention
to the indicators and interview guide questions. Committed leadership, intervention procedures, material
availability, and stakeholder participation and support are all included in these indicators. Despite some
variation in stakeholder engagement, the results show a generally good response to the intervention program,
with high evaluations for material availability, leadership commitment, and the intervention process. Teachers
expressed great satisfaction with the program and strongly agreed that it was beneficial in meeting the needs
of students who were at risk of dropping out, especially when it came to issues like program management,
differentiated interventions, and funds allocation. The school head's active participation in project
implementation is a significant factor, but more assistance from all stakeholders is required. These findings
also suggest that committed leadership is regarded as average. Although parental involvement needs to be
improved to completely maximize the program's impact, the intervention method, material availability, and
overall project evaluation earned good evaluations, indicating the program's success in improving student
performance..
