Roslaini Jadin (1938–2021) and Women's Literacy Empowerment in Riau: A Local Contribution to the Goals of Education for All

Wilaela Wilaela

Abstract


The Education for All (EFA) programme, known in Indonesia as Pendidikan untuk Semua (PUS), has received both support and criticism. In Riau, however, its principles were effectively realised through the work of Roslaini Jadin, an educator deeply committed to advancing inclusive education—particularly for women—despite not being formally connected to the EFA framework. This qualitative study employs a biographical approach to examine Roslaini’s contributions, drawing on document analysis, interviews, and field observations. The findings indicate that Jadin's initiatives directly advanced EFA objectives by establishing multi-level schooling systems, expanding access to formal, non-formal, and informal learning pipelines, and prioritizing marginalized populations. Specifically, women and children affected by poverty, disabilities, and geographic isolation. Her success was supported by internal factors such as her philanthropic character, family and organisational support, and her ability to mobilise resources strategically. Externally, her efforts were reinforced by post-Reformasi educational reforms and shifting socio-cultural dynamics that encouraged community participation. This study highlights how localized leadership, grounded in community knowledge and gender-responsive action, can substantively fulfill global educational imperatives at the grassroots level.
