Abstract
since a few decades ago, the district of pelelawan has sought to improve the quality of human resources through the expansion of opportunities for formal education in schools, ranging from basic education up to the secondary education, such as infrastructure development of schools, increased staff, procurement of school facilities and infrastructure, as well as low-cost education financing. Conclusions obtained from this research that the public has responded positively to the program. It is characterized by increasing enrollment of children of primary and secondary school age (7-18 years) in the formal education system in schools. However, the program still leaves a relatively large proportion, particularly among low-income communities. The result of this research indicates that the participation of low-income communities in the system of formal education is still not optimal, is not due to cultural values and their pessimistic attitude towards the role of education as a means of social mobility, but because of their inability to meet the necessities of life, so they are forced to ask for help from their children, so that family needs become lighter
