The Influence of Parents Socio-Economic Status on the Education Level of Children in North Aceh

This study aims to reveal how socioeconomic status influences the educational attainment of children in North Aceh through a descriptive qualitative approach. North Aceh, as a region rich in culture, Islamic values, and religious education traditions, still faces challenges in formal education, particularly related to the socioeconomic background of families. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of the community, students, and teachers in several sub-districts. The results show that families with high socioeconomic status tend to be able to provide adequate learning facilities, access to quality education, and stable emotional support. On the other hand, families with low socioeconomic status often face obstacles such as limited funds, lack of learning assistance, and less supportive social environments. These factors directly or indirectly affect children's educational achievement. This study emphasizes the important role of family economics in supporting children's educational success and the need for attention from various parties to support the education of children from low-income families.
