The school dropout rate in Jakarta remains high, according to the Jakarta Governor, Anies Baswedan 116.000 students aged 16 to 18, who are school bound, don-t continue or stop their education due to various reason, mostly due to socio-economic factors. Some of them decided to be street hustlers and trash collectors. There are 72 school dropouts enrolled to an emergency learning center located on a cemetery complex owned by the local government. The location is also serving a trash facility in TPU Menteng Atas, Setiabudi, Jakarta. The aptly named Bilik Pintar or Bilpin is currently facilitating 12 high school bound students, 17 Junior High School-bound students, 21 Elementary-bound students and 24 Kindegarten/Early Childhood Education-bound students. Learning facilities and its materials are limited, these situations lead to students- reluctance to learn.

After the first 5 months of the implantation, 98% school dropouts are willing to learn further and develop their passion to learning. Include 11,4 % of them decided to go back to school and 34,3 % reconsidered to go back to school.
