Daftar Isi:
  • Suku Laut (the Sea nomads) community in Riau Province has been living in a shadow of marginalization. Nevertheless, the new generations have adopted a modern lifestyle, including settlement in the coastal area and participation in education. However, their engagement to education is considerably low compared to the average percentage of educational participation in Karimun District. Then a puzzle arises: why the national and local education policies have failed in targeting this community? This research aims to reveal the causes of failure in educational policy by emphasizing the three dimensions of policy implementation: content, context, and process. This research also implicitly criticizes the government as main actor in policy implementation to reconsider the local and communal uniqueness and characteristics. In order to collecting data, this case study uses the combination of desk study and a four-month fieldwork in Riau Province. Basing on Grindle and Smith as theoretical frameworks, this research reveals that the failure of policy implementation in educational sector, specifically towards Suku Laut community, is due to the distortion between content and context. This disconnectedness affects the process. Analyzing policy implementation only from the implementerâ��s point of view, as Grindle offers, is obviously ineffective. This research affirms what Smith has offered: both implementer and target groups should be simultaneously involved in analyzing the content and the context of policy implementation. Both actors should revive the importance of local context in defining content, as the so-called bottom-up policy.
