<![CDATA[Education functions to develop skills and enhance the quality of life and human dignity, both personally and socially. In Indonesia, education is not only the responsibility of educational institutions but also of the citizens and the government.

The research method used is descriptive qualitative with purposive sampling. The sample consists of 47 people, including informants and the community of Kubu District.

The results of the study show that the majority of the Kubu District community (68%) agree that children's education is important, 21.2% are somewhat in agreement, and 10.8% disagree. Interviews indicate that economic factors, awareness of the importance of education, and adequate facilities and infrastructure are the main elements influencing the quality of children's education.
