Abstract
The research indicates the complexity of the rights for education of Indonesian migrant workers’ children in Malaysian Peninsula. The objective of the research was to learn the Indonesian Government policy in overcoming the problems of the rights for education of Indonesian migrant worker’s children in Negeri Johor and Negeri Pahang, Malaysia as well as to describe the obstacles faced by the Indonesian Government in providing education services for Indonesian migrant worker’s children (PMI-Pekerja Migran Indonesia). The method used in the research was semi-structured interview and structured observation. The result of the research indicated that the Indonesian Government policy covered 3 things: (i) collaboration with Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture on things related to the development, the permit, the funding, and the teacher deployment (ii) diplomacy with Malaysian Government in education and paying state visits to Malaysian Peninsula, (iii) collaboration with Indonesian diasporas, PERMAI and Indonesian lecturers teaching at Universiti Malaysia Pahang in establishing ICC Muar and ICC Pahang. The obstacles were the building, the permit, the access to school, the document of the children, and the data of PMI children who did not attend schools. It was concluded that the Indonesian Government policy in overcoming the problems of PMI children’ rights for education needed to be appreciated as the manifestation of human rights development.
