Sexuality education is basically meant for equipping children to be more prepared for sexual development, and also more alert to face sexual violence. However, through interviewing a number of parents at "X" Elementary School, the majority of parents are reluctant to relay information about sexuality to children. They hesitated to answer children's questions about sexuality. Some of the parents are even questioned the benefit of sexuality education. We can conclude that parent's awareness at "X" Elementary School to apply sexuality education are still lacking. The purpose of this research is to understand the contribution of parent's perception on sexuality educational implementation on children. We used Health-Belief Model, which consist of perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, and cues to action to discover parent' s views on factors that affecting themselves to apply sexuality education. Data were obtained through questionnaires given to 127 parents at "X" Elementary School who have children of 4 th -6 th grade. The results showed only perceived barrier (the perception of the existence of barriers) that can predict the behavior of parent's in implementing sexuality education to their children (t = -.4.894, p < .05). We can conclude that parent's view about the barrier of implementing sexuality education becomes the main factor for the parent in implementing it to their children. Based on the results, parents need to be facilitated to omit the barrier of relaying sexuality information to children.

Although the Indonesia's constitution guarantees that every child has access to basic education, which was strengthened by the National Education System Acts (Legislation number 20 in 2003), there are still plenty of Indonesian children who do not have the luxury to enjoy education. Whether it was due to remote location with lacking facilities, poverty, or cultural factor, plenty of obstacle for children to enroll in 9 years basic education. This creates a cyclical pattern of poverty within the society. This paper intends to describe educational aspiration of primary school children in a village within the District of Cisauk, Banten Province, Indonesia. 81 students of grade 4 to 6 and 8 teachers in the school were selected as participants of the study. Data from interviews and FGD reveal that despite the relatively close distance to Jakarta as the capital of Indonesia, the village still lacks of education facilities for children to enroll and the social economic of the village provide a big stumbling block for children to enroll in education. Hence the students’ aspiration to get into secondary school is relatively low. The paper will also describe a social intervention program conducted by students of Master in Professional Psychology Program, aimed at the children, to broaden the children’ horizon that provide impetus for them to continue their education to the next level, as high as can be.
