Abstract
The objective of this research was to study human rights attitude in education. Data collection was done by doing the electronic data collection survey (online) with 404 people. The study of attitudes towards human rights in education was conducted in four aspects: roles and duties of teachers, roles and duties of family, roles and duties of students, and planning for the future. The research result showed the sample group’s attitude towards the roles and duties of teachers was that they stop telling students that people who are not good at studying will be failures in life. With regards to the attitudes towards the roles and duties of family were that children should be able to choose to do what they want or what they are interested in. The results also showed that the subjects believed that students should have freedom from the education system to protest. Finally, the results concerning attitudes towards planning for the future were that people had different opportunities in life, which could have an impact on their learning. Results from the research study are expected to be used as a basis for the development of human rights education so as to promote human rights and bring about a happy harmonious society.
