A UNICEF survey revealed that 1%, or 938 children aged 7 to 18, dropped out of school due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of this number, 74% dropped out due to lack of funds.
12% of children dropped out due to lack of motivation. A further 3% dropped out due to environmental influences.
2% each dropped out because they felt their current education was sufficient and because of work commitments. The remaining 8% dropped out for other reasons.
This UNICEF finding is limited to poor families receiving the Family Hope Program (PKH) and Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) benefits and having children aged 4-18. The survey covered 1,104 villages in 347 regencies/cities and involved approximately 109,000 families and 145,000 children aged 4-18.
