The results of the study show that the government has not been able to provide maximum facilitation for the children of illegal Indonesian workers so that the existence of non-formal learning centers in the form of guidance workshops plays a very important role in the achievement of migrant children who are struggling to get an education in Malaysia. From simple enrollment and low-cost tuition fees to many flexible solutions.
