Through the National Literacy Movement, the Indonesian government attempt to increase children's reading proficiency, which is also an indicator of SDG 4.1.1. This study explores the important roles of the parents and community in improving children's literacy competencies. This study used a qualitative approach and collected both primary and secondary data. The findings highlighted that parents supporting children's literacy could improve children's reading interest and early-phase of reading competencies through the availability of reading corners and homebased literacy activities. There were 300 parents supporting children's literacy activities and 73 community facilitators facilitating 20 village reading clubs. The village government also supported the sustainability of the reading club by providing incentives for the facilitators and developing the infrastructure through village fund allocation.

This study uses participatory action research (PAR) in applying qualitative data collection using interview, observation and document study.

The purpose of AL is highlighting on the value of learning including teacher professional development. The purpose of PAR is on critical action to support the democratic voice of the marginalised community. Both AL and PAR use qualitative data analysis methods, even though PAR seems to be more valid and reliable due to the quality of instruments used to identify patterns and quality of the samples.
In analysing the research, AL rarely links back to theory, while PAR consistently links practice with theoretical framework. While the application of AL can be used to improve personal development programs, the application of PAR can encourage “ordinary people” to learn the research process and make a real contribution to their society regardless of geographical, cultural and social barriers.
PAR can be used to accommodate the voice of marginalised community in West Papua province, Indonesia, to reduce drop out rates. The purpose of PAR aligns with the purpose of education in Papua, which is supporting marginalised community and providing social justice for everyone. In order to be successful in implementing PAR, the participants need to recognise and accommodate the voices of students and illiterate parents. Lastly, the research outcomes can be presented to the government so that the expectation to increasing graduation rates can be achieved through changing government policy.

The assessment in ASC is an ongoing formative assessment using students’ portfolios. It seems that this type of assessment enacts students’ worthwhile response even though not fully of 11 NOS aspects addressed. On the other hand, Indonesia curriculum (KTSP) offers an inadequate aspect of NOS to address. KTSP attempts to address the social dimension of NOS, but it fails due to no explicit guideline. KTSP provides no information about the assessment, including assessment of NOS. KTSP need to add several aspects of NOS as a guideline for teachers. Moreover, there is no single recipe to address NOS dimension. In order to teach NOS successfully, teachers need to design purposive instruction.
