Low Intereset in Education in Adolescents

Lack of awareness towards the importance of higher education as they consider higher education to be a waste of time and money. Judging from the educational background, parents can only finish high school (SMA) and even elementary school (SD) and do not understand the function of higher education. Higher education will also aim to make money so that they are better off taking advantage of their opportunities to work which is clearly their income materially than continuing higher education. The desire to continue to higher education is very low, the pessimistic attitude that college only consumes time, energy, thoughts and costs plus not necessarily getting a job is deeply rooted in their minds and minds.

• The economic state of society

The financial element has a very important role in terms of education, the cost of daily necessities that have a high value and are not in accordance with one's income makes them (someone who is lacking in finance) decide not to continue their education and choose to work to provide for themselves and their families.

• External Factors

 

• Peer influence

The child's social environment is one of the dominant factors, because children who do not continue higher education will be attracted to social friends who do not continue higher education and can earn their own money to buy the things they want. It turns out that children's interactions with their peers have a social influence that makes them want to follow the habits that exist in the social environment (social friends).

Children who do not continue higher education are essentially assimilated with children who do not continue higher education. Their social interaction is seen when they work by helping parents at home, spending time after work, traveling, and spending time with their social friends. Environmental factors are where adolescents interact with friends or groups.
