New Social Movements for Supporting Government Programs : Study of Sokola Kaki Langit

Abstract

In the life of nation and state, every human being has rights. It is the responsibility of government to guarantee those rights and one of the right is education. The government of Indonesia has attempted to carry out its duties by issuing twelve years of compulsory education program for all of the society. However, there are several factors that affect the implementation of the program such as geographic conditions in areas that are still difficult to access. This reasearch shows that with a new social movement, the students in areas that have many limitations can have the spirit to continue learning and continue education to the upper level. In addition, the new social movement is also able to provide a change of mindset in the environment to give more support to the children in order to learn and have spirit in education. This review considers Sokola Kaki Langit Movement as a new social movement and also political participation that could accelerate the government’s programs especially in education. The method of this research follows a qualitative approach.
