Abstract

Poverty is one of the main challenges hindering children from poor families' access to formal education. This research aims to explore the impact of poverty on education, focusing on how the quality of education received affects children's learning motivation and academic achievement. The research also identifies effective interventions that can be undertaken by government and non-government organizations to improve access and quality of education for children from poor families. The results show that financial limitations, lack of information and the low quality of education facilities are the main inhibiting factors. Poor quality education has a negative impact on motivation and academic achievement, which reinforces the continuous cycle of poverty. Interventions such as scholarship provision, teacher training, and parental involvement programs are necessary. Systematic evaluation of the impact of interventions is also important to ensure the effectiveness of the programs implemented. Children from poor families are expected to receive proper education through an integrated and collaborative approach, so that they can break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential.
