Abstract

The aim of this study is to critically analyze the dynamics of poor people's perceptions in Sukorejo Village, Kendal, Indonesia regarding whether education functions as a liberating theological intervention or merely as a material necessity for survival. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Participants were selected purposively, and data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal a dialectical tension between spirituality and economic pragmatism. Community perspectives are divided into three orientations: education as divine destiny, education as an economic transaction, and education as a spiritual-material hybrid. The hybrid perspective is the most dominant but often constrained by economic pressure. This study identifies a hermeneutical meaning crisis as a root problem, where poverty is not only financial but also related to limited understanding of education’s role. This research offers a strategic framework integrating material and spiritual dimensions as an innovative approach to inclusive education policies.
