Children are one of the groups or groups of society that are protected, so the phenomenon of street children is a quite serious issue because it is related to the fulfillment of children's rights. Education, as one of the most important rights that a child is entitled to, certainly needs to be paid attention to, especially among street children.

This guidance is carried out by the Sidoarjo Regency Social Service in collaboration with the East Java Provincial Social Service through the Youth Development Social Service (UPT PSBR) as the government agency responsible for fulfilling it.
