PARENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF GIRLS' EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS FROM A CITIZENSHIP PERSPECTIVE IN BARANANGSIANG VILLAGE, PERCEPTIONS OF GIRLS'S EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS CIPONGKOR DISTRICT, WEST BANDUNG REGENCY
Education is essential and fundamental for life. Accessing quality education without discrimination and exclusion is a human right, as education enables individuals to improve their quality of life by developing their thinking, attitudes, and behaviors. Conversely, poor quality education is a major cause of the human resource crisis. However, most communities, especially in rural areas, still do not receive education in line with national mandates. This situation is evident in Baranangsiang Village, Cipongkor District, West Bandung Regency. The traditional belief that no matter how high a woman's education, she will eventually return to the kitchen is still prevalent in this community. This study examines parents' perceptions of girls' rights to education, human rights perspectives on women's educational rights, the impact of parental perceptions on girls' educational rights, and the importance of educational equality for women in Baranangsiang Village, Cipongkor District, West Bandung Regency from a citizenship education perspective. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques include observation, documentation study, literature study, and interviews. Data analysis techniques involve: 1) Data collection, 2) Data reduction and categorization, 3) Data display and conclusion drawing. The results show that there must be support from the family, especially parents, both moral and material, so that girls can continue their education to higher levels, similar to boys in the village. The perspective of citizenship education on girls' educational rights is equally important as boys' educational rights, as the responsibility for the nation's progress rests on the shoulders of every citizen, both male and female.
