I. INTRODUCTION
Education is a conscious effort intended by all human beings that is universal in nature that can be done anywhere, anytime, and there is no time limit. Completion of the 9 year compulsory education is an action to increase the net participation rate of students with compulsory education of 9 years with an age range ranging from 7 years – 15 years until the student completes or passes. Article 31 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, which states that: 1. every citizen has the right to education, and 2. every citizen is obliged to attend basic education and the government is obliged to finance it.
With the explanation above regarding compulsory education, it does not mean that the government has succeeded in holding the 9 year compulsory education. Data from UNICEF (2016) which I took from Google explained that there are still as many as 2.5 million Indonesian children who cannot enjoy further education, namely 600 thousand elementary school (SD) children and 1.9 million junior high school (SMP) children. ). Dropping out of school due to various factors such as economy, psychology and social environment triggers a child to be unable to continue his education.
Students dropping out of school at the basic education level in the Way Kanan district, especially in the Banjit district, are a serious concern because these school dropouts prefer to play with their peers and prefer to work rather than continue school.
In another part of the regulations governing compulsory education as stated in the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 47 of 2008 contained in article 1 paragraph 1, compulsory education is a minimum education program that must be followed by Indonesian citizens on the responsibility of the Government and Regional Government. Referring to the above regulations, the government and all its citizens should help each other to jointly realize the implementation of the 9 year compulsory education program.
