Indonesian citizens, hereinafter referred to as WNI (Warga Negara Indonesia), are citizens residing both within the territory of Indonesia and abroad. All WNI, whether inside or outside Indonesia, are entitled to education as stipulated in Law Number 20 of 2003 on the National Education System, Article 5, Paragraph 1: “Every citizen has the same right to obtain quality education” (Kemdikbud.go.id, 2024).
Formal education organized by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia abroad is referred to as Sekolah Indonesia Luar Negeri (Indonesian Schools Abroad), hereinafter abbreviated as SILN. SILN are formal educational institutions established overseas.
All SILN Kota Kinabalu (SIKK) students are Indonesian citizens (WNI); 99% of SIKK students are children of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) (SIKK Dapodik, 2025). The children of PMI who study at SIKK were born and raised in Malaysia. The number of Indonesian citizens (WNI) in Malaysia in 2024, based on data reported by the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Kuala Lumpur, was 832,420 people (Astrowani.com, 2024). The Government of Indonesia hereby provides special scholarships for the children of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) who will continue their studies in Indonesia after graduating from senior high school or vocational high school. However, not all SIKK students who return to Indonesia are interested in pursuing higher education after graduating from senior or vocational high school; some students prefer to work in order to earn an income immediately. sabella (2022), in her research, stated that entrepreneurship is essential for addressing economic challenges, particularly in promoting economic growth and technological development. Entrepreneurship is regarded as a strategic solution to promote students’ economic independence. This study employs a quantitative approach with an ex post facto method and falls under the category of correlational research. Correlational research aims to investigate the relationship between two variables without direct manipulation. The variables used consist of independent and dependent variables. The research was conducted in 2025 at the Indonesian School of Kota Kinabalu (SIKK), Malaysia, with a population of 30 vocational high school students. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive analysis.
