Abstract

Since the Covid-19 pandemic has spread throughout the world, there have been changes in people^s lifestyles. Not only people^s lifestyles, the covid pandemic has also changed the education system at all levels, both secondary education and Early Childhood Education (ECE). This system change was realized through an appeal from the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) about learning from home with the aim of preventing the spread of the virus through interactions at school. After more than a year of the COVID-19 pandemic spreading in Indonesia, schools will reopen from July 2021. However, the daily number of Covid-19 patients continues to increase to date. So the possibility of the implementation of face-to-face schools will be delayed again. The purpose of this article is to find out the opinion of children regarding the policy of learning from home that they have done in the past year. By using the method of policy analysis and interviews, this article is expected to provide an overview of the current education system and the fulfillment of children^s rights to education.
