PEMENUHAN HAK ANAK ATAS PENDIDIKAN NONFORMAL MELALUI OMAH SINAU KELURAHAN SEMEMI KOTA SURABAYA

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the fulfillment of children’s rights to non-formal education at Omah Sinau, Sememi Village, Surabaya City, based on Article 38 paragraph (3) of Surabaya City Regional Regulation Number 16 of 2012, as well as its impact on children’s development and the social environment of their families. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation and interview techniques with six informants selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that Omah Sinau implements the fulfillment of children’s rights through the Sinau Bareng and Ngaji Bareng programs, which encompass five regulatory indicators. Among these, the fulfillment of basic knowledge and skills, professional attitudes and character, and self-reliance has been achieved effectively, whereas vocational life skills and educational continuation remain suboptimal due to budgetary constraints and civil administration barriers. The implementation has had a positive impact on children’s academic abilities, character development, and learning motivation, as well as increased family engagement in education. Based on James W. Nickel’s theory of human rights positivism, the fulfillment of children’s rights at Omah Sinau is in accordance with prevailing positive legal norms; however, its substantive success requires cross-sectoral policy harmonization that extends beyond the scope of a single regulation.
