<![CDATA[In order to fulfill the right to education as mandated by the 1945 Constitution, non-formal education has been introduced in Indonesian society. Non-formal education is provided for in Article 26 paragraphs 1-7 of Law No. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System. Since this provision has been mandated by the Law, the question arises as to whether the Government of Batam City has efficiently implemented the right to education for all. Another question is whether the system for implementing equal education through Community Learning Centers and Homeschooling in Batam City aimed at assisting the Batam City Government is the solution in fulfilling the right to education for all in Batam City. This research finds that Law No. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System has not been effectively implemented by the Batam City Government, particularly by the Education Office under the Batam City Government, because non-formal education as one of the solutions for providing equal education for all continues to face problems. Among the issues arising is that students participating in non-formal education programs are not students of study age, yet they are required to follow the same curricula as students at formal schools. This research also finds that the Education Office under the Batam City Government has failed to disseminate the requirements under Law No. 20 of 2003 to Community Learning Centers in Batam City. In addition, it has also failed to conduct regular monitoring and auditing of the implementation of the learning and teaching process at Community Learning Centers in Batam City.]]>
