Pendidikan merupakan salah satu pilar utama pembangunan manusia, namun disparitas pendidikan di wilayah perkotaan dan pesisir, seperti di Kecamatan Tallo, Kota Makassar, masih menjadi tantangan besar. Rendahnya tingkat literasi dan numerasi anak-anak pesisir menjadi perhatian utama, diperburuk oleh kurangnya fasilitas pendidikan, tenaga pengajar, dan dukungan belajar di rumah. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan membentuk rumah belajar sebagai pusat pendidikan gratis yang mendukung peningkatan literasi dasar (CALISTUNG) bagi siswa kelas 1–3 SD dan penguatan bahasa Inggris serta matematika bagi siswa kelas 4–6 SD. Kegiatan berlangsung selama enam bulan, menggunakan metode pembelajaran interaktif yang dirancang untuk menciptakan suasana belajar yang menyenangkan. Anak-anak dibagi dalam kelompok kecil berdasarkan kemampuan, dengan tujuan meningkatkan fokus dan efektivitas belajar. Evaluasi program menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam kemampuan literasi dasar hingga 70% dan penguasaan matematika serta bahasa Inggris hingga 60%. Hasil ini menegaskan efektivitas pendekatan berbasis komunitas dan pentingnya dukungan kolaboratif dari mitra strategis seperti PT Pelindo Makassar. Program ini tidak hanya mendukung pencapaian Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDGs) nomor 4 terkait pendidikan berkualitas dan inklusif, tetapi juga menjadi model pemberdayaan pendidikan yang relevan untuk wilayah pesisir lainnya di Indonesia.
Educational Empowerment Through the Establishment of Learning Homes for Coastal Children: Basic Literacy and Numeracy Strengthening Program in Tallo District, Makassar City
Education is one of the main pillars of human development, yet disparities in education between urban and coastal areas, such as in Tallo District, Makassar City, remain a significant challenge. The low literacy and numeracy levels among coastal children are of primary concern, exacerbated by limited educational facilities, inadequate teaching staff, and lack of support for learning at home. This community engagement program aims to establish a learning center as a free educational hub to enhance basic literacy (CALISTUNG) for 1st–3rd grade students and strengthen English and mathematics skills for 4th–6th grade students. The program was conducted over six months, utilizing interactive teaching methods designed to create an enjoyable learning environment. Children were grouped into small clusters based on their abilities to improve focus and learning effectiveness. The program evaluation revealed significant improvements, with literacy skills increasing by up to 70% and mathematics and English proficiency by 60%. These results highlight the effectiveness of community-based approaches and the importance of collaborative support from strategic partners, such as PT Pelindo Makassar. This program not only supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on inclusive and quality education but also serves as a relevant educational empowerment model for other coastal regions in Indonesia
