Abstract

This study aims to determine how the “Boat Class” public service innovation model affects reducing school dropouts in the Spermonde region of Indonesia and see the impact of the Boat Class innovation. This study applies a qualitative research design with a case study method, using representative informants such as the innovator, Head of the Education Office, Regent, Facilitator Team, and Boat Class students. The results showed that the Boat Class Program started with bottom-up innovation, strong support from internal and external parties, and a dedicated innovator mentality. The impact of the Boat Class innovation was the reduction of dropout rates and increased student school participation in the North Liukang Tupabbiring Islands and Pangkejene Islands. The findings of this research will be helpful for other agencies in Indonesia in performing similar public service innovations. At least, one must prepare an appropriate innovation model, a robust personal innovator, a solid innovation support team from the local government, and international institutions ready to advocate initiation. This is the first research in Indonesia, especially in the Eastern Region, to raise the topic of public service innovation that meets international standards from the UNPSA.

 

Keywords: public service innovation, innovative program, school dropouts, Spermode Islands, Indonesia.
