Poverty constitutes a serious challenge faced by numerous countries and the global community at large, Indonesia being no exception. The causes of poverty in Indonesia encompass low educational attainment, minimal income, diverse geographic variations, and difficulties in accessing goods and services. In an endeavor to minimize the impact of poverty, the government has taken various measures, with one of them being focused on the education sector. Education is considered a crucial key in combating poverty and enhancing overall quality of life, both at the individual and societal levels. Education plays a strategic role in producing an educated and skilled workforce, serving as the backbone for improving Indonesia's economic conditions. From Ibn Khaldun's perspective, education provides individuals with opportunities to acquire the skills and competencies necessary in the workforce and professions, thereby enhancing income and addressing issues of poverty. This approach establishes a strong connection between educational improvement, economic well-being, and comprehensive poverty alleviation.
