Outlines
💪 Cynthia's Unstoppable Spirit Amid the Pandemic
Cynthia, an 11-year-old girl, has been balancing school and work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though her school has shifted to online learning, her family's economic situation requires her to work as a waste picker. Since the third grade, she has been collecting trash to cover school expenses and help her family. Despite the government providing free internet quotas for online schooling, Cynthia only received the aid once, which forced her to work harder to afford internet data. Her daily struggle involves long hours in harsh conditions at a garbage site, where safety is a constant concern. However, Cynthia is determined not to quit school, unlike her brother, who dropped out of vocational school due to similar circumstances.
📉 The Risk of School Dropouts During the Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the risk of school dropouts, with three out of four children being vulnerable. Economic pressure forces many students, like Cynthia, to work to support their families, putting their education at risk. A coordinated effort between school authorities and local governments is necessary to prevent students from leaving school. The government had provided internet quotas during the pandemic, but the reduction in aid and improper targeting of recipients has exacerbated the problem, leaving many children without the necessary support to continue their education.

Highlights
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, 11-year-old Cynthia remains determined to continue her education, balancing school with her job as a waste picker.
Cynthia has been working as a waste picker since she was in the third grade to support her schooling and help provide for her family.
Due to the pandemic and the shift to distance learning (PJJ), Cynthia's family had to spend more money on internet data, despite government efforts to provide free internet quotas.
Cynthia only received free internet quota once during the entire year of remote learning, which forced her family to spend more on internet data to continue her studies.
Cynthia is aware that her dreams require hard work, and she faces additional risks as she collects waste, with constant danger from passing trucks and unstable piles of trash.
Her parents worry she might drop out of school like her older brother, who left in the second year of vocational school and is now also a waste picker.
Cynthia is determined not to quit school and aims to become a source of pride for her family, hoping to pursue a future in religious studies and improve her family's situation.
A report by UNICEF and Indonesia's Bappenas highlights that three out of four children are at risk of dropping out of school during the pandemic, with economic pressures being a major factor.
One key reason for children leaving school during the pandemic is the need to work and contribute financially to their families, similar to Cynthia's situation.
While the government provided free internet quotas to students for online learning, the distribution was inconsistent, and many children in areas with poor internet access or lacking devices could not fully benefit.
The government allocated significant funds for free internet quotas during the pandemic, reaching up to 7.2 trillion rupiah from September to December 2020, but this budget has been reduced.
Some students did not receive internet quota in later stages due to using less than 1 GB of data in previous months or living in areas with poor signal coverage.
The pandemic has caused economic strain, forcing students like Cynthia to work and balance their education with financial responsibilities.
Despite working up to 9 hours a day as a waste picker, Cynthia remains motivated to achieve her dream of continuing her education and bringing happiness to her parents.
The government plans to reintroduce in-person learning, but questions remain about the safety and effectiveness of this decision amid ongoing COVID-19 concerns.

bu guru Bu Kok saya enggak dapat kuota
internet lagi
Oh iya pernah tapi enggak tahu gurunya
katanya kehabisan anak berusia sebelas
tahun ini sadar cita-cita tak dapat
dicapai dengan mudah perlu perjuangan
melawan terik matahari menjadi
kesehariannya Ia pun harus Sigap berburu
sampah disaat truk datang sembari tetap
waspada sebab gunungan sampah bisa
ambrol Kapan saja sehingga atau lihat di
belakang bukan banyak truk-truk kayak

Hai pembelian kuota internet menjadi
salah satu alasan anak sekolah harus
bekerja selama masa pandemi seperti yang
dialami Cynthia negara menggulirkan
bantuan kuotainternetgratis pada peserta
didik dengan kapasitas tujuh hingga 10
GB perbulan anggarannya mencapai 7,2
Triliun Rupiah pada September hingga
Desember 2020 lalu namun kini jumlahnya
menurun menjadi 2,6 Triliun Rupiah
sejumlah penerima bantuan yang
menggunakan kuota internet di bawah 1 GB
tak dapat menerima pada tahap berikutnya
nah bantuan kota ini kan kadang-kadang
tidak tepat sasaran misalnya ya anak itu
berada pada kondisi dimana Susah sinyal
kan juga percuma lalu kemudian anak itu
misalnya tidak punya gadget dianggap
dapat lalu anak itu ternyata sekolahnya
tidak sering jump dan tidak sering
anggubel Niken
wuih kuotanya tersisa Lalu apakah tak
negara ini yang harus melakukan
pendataan kerja kepala sekolah jadi
berapapun jumlah Nomor HP yang
dimasukkan kepala sekolah itu akan kita
isi dengan pulsa dari Kemendikbud Mbah
Kemendikbud tentu tangannya terbatas dan
kita menggunakan tangan-tangannya jika
sembunyikan berbisa membantu mengawasi
anak-anak kita yang ada di belakangan
[Musik]
setelah setahun menjalani pembelajaran
jarak jauh gini negara berencana
menerapkan kembali sekolah tatap muka
namun bagaimana kebijakan ini efektif
dan aman bagi anak sekolah kalapan demi
covert 19 belum mereda dengarkan
afirmasi itu kita harus tahu siapa yang
terpinggirkan siapa yang anak tidak
sekolah
[Musik]
