ABSTRACT
Vera Waty Simanjuntak, Dr. Waluyo, S.H., M.Si : Education as a Human Right: An Analysis of the Compulsory Education Program as an Effort to Fulfill the Right to Education.
Education is the direction and determinant of the development of a nation because education is an investment for the creation of quality Human Resources (HR). Through education, a person can easily increase their potential so that they can improve their standard of living in a better direction. Various efforts have been made by the Government to improve the quality and equity of education. One of the efforts is to hold a compulsory education program that freezes the cost of education. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the compulsory education program through Government Regulation No. 47 of 2008 towards fulfilling the right
to education as a human right. The method used in this research is normative legal research and in analyzing the data using George C Edwards III 1980 policy implementation theory. The results showed that the effectiveness of the compulsory education program has not been implemented properly, this is because the communication carried out to the community is still not optimal, there is still a lack of available resources, not maximizing the implementation of tasks, and the support of the bureaucratic structure is still not optimal. So that it requires socialization, coaching and mentoring carried out by the government to the community as well as increasing the amount of the education assistance budget and the number of schools and conducting joint evaluations on a scale between the government and the community.
Keywords: Human Rights, Compulsory Education Program, Education.
