Factors Affecting The Bajo Tribe Construction of Children’s Education In Sapeken Islands

Abstract

Abstract: Equitable access for education can be a measure of a country's justice. Although almost all countries, including Indonesia, have echoed campaigns on education for all, this has not always been successful. Various obstacles were faced, such as socio-cultural constraints, especially for isolated tribes. This study aims to determine the factors that influence parents' construction in the Bajo Tribe towards children's education in the Sapeken Islands. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological method. The study was conducted for one year with ten subjects. Data was obtained through participatory observation, then analyzed using the NVivo program. The results show that at least five factors influence the construct of Bajo parents on their children's education. The five factors include religious and moral values, relations with the outside world, availability of transportation facilities, educational facilities, and access to information.
