The activity took place on January 12 at MA Darul Rasyidin, Samangki Village, Simbang District, Maros Regency. Methods used included outreach, discussion, and an interactive approach that actively engaged participants. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of the risks of early marriage from a health, educational, social, and legal perspective. This activity is expected to be a preventative measure to reduce the number of early marriages and encourage the formation of a younger generation that is better prepared for the future.

This study aims to describe the main factors causing children in Perumaan Village, East Alok District to drop out of school, as well as the efforts made to overcome this problem. A descriptive qualitative method was used. This research was conducted in Parumaan Village, East Alok District, from February 12 to February 28, 2025, because there are still children who drop out of school in Parumaan Village. The data sources in this study are primary and secondary data sources. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. After collection, the data was analyzed following these steps: Data Collection, Data Reduction, Data Presentation, Conclusion Drawing, and Verification.The results of the study show that the main causes of children dropping out of school can be divided into two factors, namely internal and external. Internal factors include lack of parental attention, economic conditions, and low interest in learning among children. Meanwhile, external factors include an unsupportive social environment, the influence of promiscuity, and low levels of parental education. These findings show that children tend to lose their educational direction when support from their families and surrounding environment is minimal. To address this issue, several efforts have been made, such as raising awareness about the importance of education by the village government, providing economic assistance such as scholarships and KIP (Indonesian Smart Card), and involving the community through mutual cooperation and mentoring. This study recommends strengthening collaboration between families, schools, the government, and the community to create a conducive and sustainable educational environment.

This research is motivated by the high rate of early marriage in Pamatan Village, which is a serious social issue and impacts the quality of life of the younger generation. This phenomenon is thought to be influenced by various social factors, including parental education level (X₁), family economic status (X₂), and school dropout rate (X₃). The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of these three independent variables on the decision to marry early (Y). This study uses an explanatory quantitative approach with an ex post facto design, where the researcher does not intervene on the variables, but rather analyzes the relationships that have occurred. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression. Data were collected through questionnaires to 100 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique, namely teenagers or families with a history of early marriage. The results of the analysis show that simultaneously the variables of parental education, economic status, and school dropout rate have a significant influence on the decision to marry early with a calculated F value of 139.302 which is greater than the F table of 2.699 and a significance value of 0.001. Partially, only economic status (X₂) and school dropout rate (X₃) significantly influence the decision to marry early, while parental education (X₁) does not have a significant influence. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.807 indicates that 80.7% of the variation in the decision to marry early can be explained by these three variables. This finding underscores the importance of efforts to improve education and empower family economics as a preventive measure to reduce the rate of early marriage among adolescents in the village.

This research investigates the implementation of Random Forest algorithms combined with Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to predict elementary school dropout rates in Indonesia, supporting the Indonesia Emas 2045 vision. A significant gap was identified in previous studies, which, despite utilizing artificial intelligence for dropout interventions, had not integrated temporal dimensions into data analysis. A temporal data-based classification model was developed using Indonesian Ministry of Education data from 2021-2023, incorporating lag features, delta calculations, and rolling statistics. Two models were implemented: one with SMOTE achieving 99% accuracy with perfect recall for high-risk regions, while the non-SMOTE model reached 100% accuracy. Temporal features were identified as crucial predictors, reflecting external fluctuations and annual changes impacting dropout decisions. This approach enables educational institutions to allocate resources more efficiently by prioritizing operational assistance for high-risk schools. The model's capacity to identify high-risk regions with 100% recall represents a strategic investment in strengthening Indonesia's human resource sustainability. To address the limitations of provincial aggregate data, expansion to include individual-level variables and model validation at district or school scales is recommended for future research.
