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..
