This study uses primary data obtained from questionnaires and interviews. The research sample consisted of four secondary schools (one school in DIY and three schools in Central Java). The results showed thatThe existence of the ADEM Repatriation program is a government policy that is quite effective in overcoming the education problems of children of Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) who have difficulty obtaining access to education services.
