Amidst the rising tide of international labor migration, access to decent and humanizing education for the children of migrant workers has emerged as a humanitarian crisis and an urgent global social justice issue. This study aims to analyze the implementation and conceptualization of humanistic education for Indonesian migrant children in Malaysia through the lens of Prophetic Social Science. Employing a descriptive-analytical qualitative case study approach, the research explores the education of Indonesian migrant workers' children in Malaysia. Data were gathered via observation, in-depth interviews with purposive subjects, and document analysis. The study utilized the Miles-Huberman interactive analysis model alongside Prophetic Thematic Analysis, validated through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that the Prophetic Social Science perspective successfully transforms the education of Indonesian migrant children in Malaysia from a mechanical, charitable practice into a dignified movement of liberation. The pillar of humanization restores the children's dignity from social alienation; liberation fosters critical consciousness and life skills to break the cycle of intergenerational underdevelopment; and transcendence provides an ethical-spiritual anchor to preserve national identity. This model contributes to reconstructing children's learning into a "sacrament of humanity" that fully awakens the child's agency.
