Abstract

In general, literacy is always associated with the world of education, and it is very closely related to the practice of social relations that include knowledge, language, and culture. Gerakan Literasi Sekolah (School Literacy Movement) is a solution offered by the government to answer the problems of this age. Therefore, this study aims to describe the literacy culture of the children of Indonesian migrant workers in Sabah Malaysia, who attend the non-formal Community Learning Center School of Pontian Fico. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. This research reveals that literacy activities are very important in supporting learning for children. The findings in this study also reveal that literacy activities for Indonesian Migrant Workers’ children who attend the Community Learning Center of Pontian Fico Sabah Malaysia are only reading activities, which are reading 15 minutes before the learning begins. The limited availability of books also becomes one of the obstacles in the literacy program, especially in the border area. To create a culture of good literacy, special attention needs to be paid by the government to create programs that are relevant for the children of Indonesian Migrant Workers in Malaysia.
