Abstract

Youth participation in educational development requires a program that can provide support such as formal and non-formal education as an alternative to empowering youth to be able to improve their knowledge and mentality optimally, preparing quality youth because they are the next generation of development in this country. Based on the above objectives, the author took a thesis with the topic "The Role of Suco Head Leadership in Improving Youth Quality in Education", a case study conducted in Ainaro suco located in Ainaro District, and Ainaro Municipality. The objectives of this study are: to find out about the effectiveness of youth planning, the success and challenges of youth participation in educational development. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative research method. In addition, the author uses data analysis techniques such as observation, interviews, questionnaires and documentation. Related to the problems above, the author observed that youth development and motivation have not been maximized. Motivation from leaders to youth arises because it is based on youth participation in accessing minimal education and this as a regional leader has reasons to motivate his youth to want to follow education according to academic fields.
