INTRODUCTION
Poverty has become an issue of concern in Indonesia.
Although many efforts have been made by the government and non-government organizations to overcome this problem, its impact is still felt significantly, especially in the education sector.
Poverty is an economic condition that limits people's access to adequate resources to meet their basic needs, including education.
This problem is generally related to unequal distribution of income, lack of decent employment opportunities, and lack of access to basic services such as health care and education.
1119 | The Impact of Poverty in Indonesia on Education (Fitria Arina Suhendar Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 One of direct impact of poverty is limited access to education.
Poor families often cannot afford educational costs such as school fees, books, uniforms and transportation.
Many children from poor families are forced to drop out of school or do not receive adequate education.
In some cases, children are even forced to work to help earn income for their families.
In fact, education is the basic right of every individual and is an important foundation in building a brighter future.
Besides limited access and poverty also affect the quality of education received by children from poor families.
Schools in poor areas often lack adequate resources, including facilities, qualified teachers, and adequate materials.
Lack of facilities such as laboratories, libraries and proper classrooms affects the quality of learning.
In addition, teachers in poor areas often have low educational qualifications and lack adequate support from the This lack of resources has a negative impact on the quality of education received by children from poor families, so that they do not receive quality education to develop their potential optimally.
Therefore, poverty also has an impact on low participation in education.
Poor families often view education as an additional burden that is difficult to overcome.
In many cases, children from poor families are expected to help earn income or do housework to help their As a result, they are often absent or do not attend school regularly.
This low participation is also caused by a lack of awareness of the importance of education.
Many parents in poor areas are unaware of the long-term benefits of education and are more focused on meeting basic daily needs.
In order to overcome the impact of poverty on education, steps need to be taken.
First, the government needs to pay special attention to poor areas by increasing the allocation of funds to improve educational facilities.
Apart from that, efforts to improve the quality of teachers by providing training and supporting their professional development will be very The government should also focus on programs that provide financial assistance to poor families to meet the costs of their children's education.
In conclusion, poverty in Indonesia has a significant impact on the world of education.
Limited access, low quality of education, and low participation harm children from poor families in achieving their potential full of them.
Therefore, addressing poverty must be a priority in order to improve the quality of education in Indonesia.
By increasing access, quality and participation in education, a stronger foundation will be created for sustainable social and economic development in the future.

FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM
Based on the background of the problem above, the following question was asked:
"What are the impacts of poverty in Indonesia in the world of education?" and "What efforts 1120 | The Impact of Poverty in Indonesia on Education (Fitria Arina Suhendar Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 can be proposed to overcome the problem of poverty in Indonesia in the world of DISCUSSION Poverty is a serious problem that is still faced by many countries, including Indonesia.
In this writing, we have discussed several factors that are the root of the problem of poverty in Indonesia and the impacts they cause.
The three main points that have been discussed are economic inequality, low quality of education, and the cycle of poverty and the perpetuation of poverty.
Apart from that, we also provide an explanation of the negative impacts caused by poverty, both for individuals and society as a whole.
The problem of poverty in Indonesia not only has social but also economic impacts.
Economic inequality hinders sustainable and quality growth in the country.
The low quality of education is also an important factor in influencing poverty.
Quality education is key in sharing knowledge and skills with individuals, so they can unlock opportunities and build a better future.
The impact of the cycle of poverty and the perpetuation of poverty is also very significant.
Families living in conditions of poverty find it difficult to get out of this vicious circle due to various factors such as limited access to decent work, low levels of education, and limited access to health services.
This cycle of poverty tends to continue from one generation to the next.
Regarding this, there are several impacts that influence it.
Limited Access to Education Limited access to education is one of the significant impacts of poverty in Indonesia.
Poor families often face difficulties in meeting educational costs such as school fees, books, uniforms and transportation.
These financial limitations force children from poor families to drop out of school or not receive adequate education.
One of the main factors influencing limited access is school costs.
Private schools often have fees that are unaffordable for poor families.
Apart from that, state schools still require payment of certain fees, such as donations for school construction or other High school fees are an obstacle for children from poor families to access formal education.
In addition, the cost of books and school supplies can also be a heavy burden for poor families.
Books and school supplies needed to support the learning process are often unaffordable or too expensive for poor families.
This makes it difficult for their children to follow lessons well and obtain adequate academic results.
Apart from the cost of education, transportation is also an important factor in access to education.
Many poor families live in remote or inland areas that are difficult to reach by public Children from poor families often have to walk long distances or use inconvenient modes of transportation to reach school.
These transportation limitations cause high levels of school absenteeism and low participation in educational activities.
To overcome limited access to education, steps need to be taken.
The government needs to implement policies that encourage wider and more inclusive access to education for poor families.
One example is by providing educational subsidies or scholarships to children from poor families.
Providing these subsidies can help reduce the financial burden that must be borne by poor families and ensure that they can still access education even in difficult economic situations.
Apart from that, the free or low-cost school provision program also needs to be expanded and improved.
Programs such as "Kartu Indonesia Pintar" which provides cash assistance to children from poor families can help them meet educational costs.
The government also needs to collaborate with the private sector and non-government organizations to provide assistance in the form of procurement of books, uniforms and school supplies.
1121 | The Impact of Poverty in Indonesia on Education (Fitria Arina Suhendar Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 Apart from government efforts, the community can also play a role in increasing access to education for poor families.
Organizations or volunteer groups can help provide transportation or collect donations to meet the educational costs of children from poor families.
With these steps, it is hoped that limited access to education for poor families can be reduced.
Every child has the same right to receive quality education, without having to be limited by difficult economic conditions.
Low Quality of Education The low quality of education is another impact of poverty in Indonesia.
Schools in poor areas often have limited resources, including adequate facilities, qualified teachers, and materials.
This lack of resources has a negative impact on the quality of education received by children from poor families.
Limited school facilities are one of the determining factors in the quality of education.
Many schools in poor areas do not have important facilities such as libraries, laboratories or adequate classrooms.
This lack of facilities limits students' learning experiences and prevents them from developing their potential optimally.
Inadequate facilities can also reduce students' motivation to study.
Apart from that, the low quality of teachers is an important factor that influences the quality of education.
Schools in poor areas often have difficulty attracting or retaining quality teachers.
Teacher educational qualifications in poor areas also tend to be low.
Lack of quality and limited number of qualified teachers can hinder an effective learning process.
Apart from teacher factors, the lack of support and funding from the government also affects the quality of education.
Schools in poor areas often do not receive adequate support from the government, either in the form of operational funds or development This lack of support limits innovation and reform in the world of education in poor areas.
To improve the quality of education, the government needs to be actively involved in increasing educational resources in poor areas.
Increasing the education budget is an important first step in improving school facilities and increasing teacher With increased funding, schools in poor areas can improve infrastructure, provide adequate facilities, and strengthen teacher development programs.
Apart from that, training and development of teachers in poor areas also needs to be a focus.
Regular and quality training programs will help teachers improve their skills and profession.
Quality teachers will influence the quality of learning and will have a positive impact on student learning outcomes.
The government also needs to encourage collaboration with the private sector and non-governmental organizations in efforts to improve the quality of education in poor areas.
Programs for donating books, school supplies and providing facilities can be carried out in collaboration with various Apart from that, this collaboration can also involve professionals or experts in the field of education to help improve the quality of learning.
By improving the quality of education, children from poor families will receive a better education and have greater opportunities to develop their potential.
Improving the quality of education will also open up opportunities for greater equality and social mobility in the future.
The Poverty Cycle and Poverty Perpetuation Poverty in Indonesia tends to be a cycle that is difficult to break.
Families living in poverty often experience difficulties in improving their standard of living and getting out of poverty.
Certain factors, both structural and individual, play a role in perpetuating this cycle of poverty.
One of the main factors that perpetuates poverty is limited access to decent employment opportunities.
Poor families often have limited access to formal jobs that offer adequate wages.
They are often forced to work in the informal sector 1122 | The Impact of Poverty in Indonesia on Education (Fitria Arina Suhendar Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 with low wages and working conditions that are not safe or stable.
Limitations in getting decent work contribute to low income and difficulty getting out of poverty.
Apart from that, low levels of education also perpetuate the cycle of poverty.
Children from poor families tend to have limited access to education, as explained in the previous point.
Lack of adequate education can limit available employment opportunities and hinder social mobility.
Apart from economic and educational factors, low access to health services can also be a factor that perpetuates poverty.
Poor families often face difficulties in gaining access to adequate health services.
High health costs and the lack of adequate health facilities in poor areas prevent poor families from getting the health care they need.
Children who grow up in poor health have a lower chance of receiving a good education and having a better future.
To break the cycle of poverty, a comprehensive approach needs to be implemented.
The government needs to encourage inclusive and sustainable economic development, so as to create decent jobs and reduce economic disparities.
Increasing investment in the education and training sector is also important to improve access and quality of education for poor families.
The government also needs to expand the reach and improve the quality of health services in poor areas.
Programs such as national health insurance and the provision of affordable health facilities need to be improved and made accessible to poor families.
Apart from government efforts, the need for community empowerment is also important in changing the cycle of poverty.
Education about life skills, entrepreneurship development, and improving living standards needs to be provided for poor families.
Non-governmental organizations and social institutions can also provide assistance and support in the form of training and mentoring for poor families.
With a comprehensive approach and sustainable support, it is hoped that the cycle of poverty can be broken and poor families can have a better opportunity to improve their standard of living and escape poverty.
CONCLUSION
It is important to understand that fighting poverty is a complex challenge and requires cooperation from various sectors.
The government, non-governmental organizations, communities and the private sector need to work together to formulate and implement effective programs and policies in addressing the root causes of poverty.
With continuous efforts and high awareness, it is hoped that a more inclusive and sustainable society can be created in Indonesia, where every individual has fair access to education, health and opportunities to improve their standard of living.
SUGGESTION
To overcome poverty in Indonesia, integrated and sustainable efforts are needed from various sectors.
These efforts:
The government needs to implement policies that focus on fair economic redistribution and increasing access to decent work and stable income.
Promotion of investment in labor-intensive sectors and development of cooperatives can be effective steps in creating new jobs.
Increased access to markets and skills training can also help individuals living in poverty to increase their income.
The government also needs to improve access and quality of education in poor areas.
Increasing the education budget, developing educational infrastructure, and training quality teachers can improve the quality of education.
Scholarship programs and educational assistance also need to be provided for poor families to increase their access 1123 | The Impact of Poverty in Indonesia on Education (Fitria Arina Suhendar Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 to better education.
By improving the quality of education, it is hoped that there will be better social mobility and greater opportunities for future generations to escape poverty.
There needs to be special attention to access and quality of health services in poor areas.
Increased access to health facilities and financial protection for health costs can help poor families get the health care they need.
Health promotion and education are also important in increasing awareness of the importance of health and disease prevention.
With good health, individuals have a greater opportunity to improve their living conditions and escape poverty.
