A. Problem Analysis

 1. What was the problem before the implementation of the initiative?
In 2013, there were 163 students who couldn’t have their education and 52 student who were dropout from the school based from eleven regional in surabaya. Since 2013, surabaya government had freed all of schools fee for students in elementary, junior and senior. Furthermore, all the operational needed would be taken by the government. The government not only freeing their tuition fee but also bear all students’ needs. Education fee in surabaya reaches about $ 134 million USD. From that phenomenon, it is shown that free education policy is not conducted well. Based on social department of surabaya team, it found some reasons why those children dropout from school or even the don’t want to continue their education. It is because of economic factor and area. From the economic factor, basically their parent’s don’t have money to support their children education. Their focus is only on fulfilling their basic needs. If their basic needs are not fulfilled yet then education is no longer be their main priority. Parents focus is on working to fulfil their daily needs. The result is children education lost attention so that they dropout. When they no longer have school and less family function to lead, give advice, love and attention, children are easy to get more complex social problems. The less finance forces the children to work helping their family economical state. Beside from the surrounding factor, dropout children usually are surrounded with unconducive atmosphere. In their family, parents have no idea of how important education is. In the external surround, friends don’t support them and prefer to spend their time to play, and having fun. Those negative effects are not only building a lazy-to-go-to-school feeling but also think that school isn’t important.

As, university students are still idealist and young. Usually, the age of the dropout children have no big different with university student. So In doing the counselling, they act like their older brother or sister. These programs are used to solve the dropout students’ problem till it base. The university student as the brother or sister, each of the students has an adopted seeks to unravel and provide solutions to existing problems, both from economic and environmental factors.

 11. Did the initiative improve integrity and/or accountability in public service? (If applicable)
The importance of building informal networks and collaborating with all actors, institutions and individuals on the issue of accountability of public services has been recognized since the beginning. In the particular situation of individual actors who work in the formal setting can build informal relationships to become more effective, particularly in improving the accountability of public services. CSR individual actors in question are students. They are given the flexibility to integrate with the children, family, even people who are being assisted. They can also be connected with the bureaucratic process as long as necessary to resolve the issue. It is happened because the student is not just as individual actors, but they are actually an "arm" of the government of Surabaya. By this program, the city government can be able to recognize in real social problems faced by grassroots society and vulnerable society. Thus, the gap between the public services provided by local government with the expectations of society can be recognize early. Such information is vital for the local government to improve public services. Issues that connects the accountability of public services with the problem of dropouts and vulnerable dropouts are the transparency of cost in education, the correct use of school operating costs. Transparency of the cost of education in the schools Since 2013, Surabaya City Government has freed all the school supplies for students in elementary, middle and high school. Furthermore, the operational needs of the students will be covered. Government is no longer just to grant the cost of education, but also bear all the needs of the students. Education funds in Surabaya is more than $ 134 million USD. However, the high budget allocated by the local government is not matched by the policies of the school principal. They still set the cost. This is contrary with the policy of the Local Government. And this is still occurred. The modus is varying: the extra cost of private lessons, study tour charges, support the renovation of religious buildings, the purchase of textbooks. The CSR children are the victim of inconsistency between the policy of the City Government and the school. Before following CSR, their parents had no choice but to follow school policy. But now, together with sister companion of CSR these problems can be facilitated to related parties such as Department of Social Service, Department of Education. The positive effects are that voice of the poor who have been "barely audible" become "louder" when shouted by students’ companion of CSR. It takes the process to raise the skills of a companion so that they are able to face complicated situation more effectively. However, the 707 students who go directly from home to home is an important force in driving accountability of public services.
