Abstract

Education is a right for all citizens. Indonesia’s educational system refers to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many elementary school-age children are not excited about school because it is challenging for both children as students and their parents. The formulation of the problem in this writing is: How is the right to education at the elementary school level during the covid-19 pandemic? This research is descriptive, and deductive thinking methods are used in concluding. The results show that the right to education is established in Articles 13 and 14 of the ICESCR and Article 31 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Article 14 of the ICESCR explains that participating countries must make an action plan to execute the principles of free and compulsory primary education fully. Article 31 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that every citizen is obliged to attend primary education, which the state is obliged to pay.
