They are not abvle to earn much income through the traditional economic sector and indirectly this situation will approach those who include the education of children. Children who do not study, they do not succeed, those who study anywhere, because, the family can not, cover the time, school. This is very necessary for the need for basic necessities that are more important for life.

This has directly caused the education gap to occur in the interior. In addition, poverty creates educational problems between urban and rural areas. The distance between their place of residence and the regular school is very long. This situation has made it difficult for students to go to school. Lack of consumption due to poverty makes it difficult for students to learn. Children of parents are willing to give up their children's educational opportunities for the safety of the child.

Thus, poverty has invited the problem of education gap as many children of the nation have fallen victim to the mornings of poverty and neglected education.
