Help Build a School for Underprivileged Children

Education does not happen only in classrooms. It continues at home. When parents are actively involved in their children’s learning, academic performance improves, confidence grows, and long-term success becomes more attainable.

However, in many rural communities, parental involvement faces serious challenges.

The Challenges

Many parents are unable to consistently supervise their children’s study at home due to work demands and economic pressures. Some lack basic literacy skills, making it difficult to assist with homework or understand school materials. Internet, media, and book literacy among parents remains limited, reducing their ability to guide children in navigating digital resources responsibly.

In some cases, parents themselves are illiterate.

As a result, children often do not receive strong academic support at home. Without supervision, structured study habits, or encouragement, learning gaps widen—and the risk of academic underperformance and dropout increases.

What We Are Doing

At Punthuk Sewu Learning Center, we believe that empowering parents is essential to strengthening children’s education.

Building Parental Participation Mechanisms

We have introduced structured parent engagement systems, including learning monitoring tools (“learning control cards”) that help parents track their children’s study routines at home. These tools encourage accountability and consistent supervision.

Strengthening Digital Literacy Among Parents

We provide guidance to parents on how to use the internet responsibly and productively. By improving their understanding of digital platforms, parents can better support their children’s learning and ensure technology becomes a resource—not a distraction.

Through this approach, we aim to transform parents from passive observers into active partners in their children’s educational journey.

Why This Matters

When parents are equipped with the right knowledge and tools, the home becomes an extension of the classroom.

Stronger parental involvement leads to:

• Better study discipline
• Improved academic performance
• Increased motivation and emotional support
• Reduced risk of school dropout

Empowering children begins with empowering families.
