Regulatory Effectiveness in Ensuring Access to Education and Child Health in Low Income Communities through Scholarship Equity
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of legal regulations in guaranteeing child rights in the education and health sectors, especially in low incomes communities and in equitable access to scholarship programs. Using a literature study approach based on normative and descriptive analysis, this research combed through laws and regulations, academic literature, and policy data related to the distribution of basic services. The analysis shows that there is a discrepancy between the content of regulations and their implementation in the field. This gap is caused by weak bureaucratic capacity, low community legal literacy, and minimum independent oversight. Programs designed for poor child, such as scholarships and basic health services, often do not reach their targets due to structural and political issues. Legal protection for child must be viewed not merely as a normative instrument, but as a distributional justice framework that must be monitored dynamically and data-driven. This research provides a conceptual basis for strengthening legal effectiveness in the framework of social equity and child protection.
