Abstract


This study aims to determine parents' perspectives on girls' education in rural and urban environments. In this study, parents' perspectives on girls' education were adapted from Benard's indicators which refer to three main sources on girls' education according to UNICEF, UNESCO and GenderStats data base. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, including parents who have daughters in Pati, Kudus and Jepara districts totaling 100 respondents. The approach applied in this study used a quantitative approach, with a comparative research type. Data were obtained through a questionnaire and analyzed using a Mann Whitney U test. Based on the results of the study, a significance value of 0.237 > 0.05 was obtained, which means that there is no significant difference between parents' perspectives on girls' education in rural and urban environments. This is because nowadays many parents are aware of the importance of education. However, there are about 20% of the research sample who think that higher education is not so important for girls. Whereas every child, both boys and girls, have the same rights in education. Parents' perspectives on girls' education can be influenced by several factors, such as educational background, living environment and economic conditions.
