Ministry of National Education; Directorate General of Out of School Education, Youth and Sports, Directorate of Out of School Education (DIKMAS)

Ministry of National Education is a government body which has mandate to coordinate all of the nation educational activities, system and matters in Indonesia.

The IPEC collaboration with Directorate of Out of School Education (DIKMAS) is started in 1996/1997 with working title "Integrated approach to non-formal education to combat child labour". Due to the internal problems that the directorate facing such as identifying appropriate project personal, counterpart budget, mobile staff, etc, other activities were delayed and the Action Programme evaluated. However a core team of the project was established and commissioned study was conducted. But based on IPEC assessment, the project is considered very strategic for the work of IPEC in Indonesia since the project is aimed to mainstream child labour into major government programme on non-formal education, therefore with the new management the project is extended up to biennium 2000/2001. During the extension period a Community Learning Centre (CLC) identified and partnership developed. The CLC personals were trained by project team, experts, consultant and local government about how to implement the Package A and B programme, how to motive learners and their parents. Core curriculum for package A and Package B learners refer to regular curriculum which was modified based on learners needs and condition of their work.
