Abstract


Continuing to college is the dream of high school graduates who live in urban areas. With good grades in semesters 1-5, they can pass the SNMPTN with a study program that suits their interests, especially if they have a KIP or a card for a PIP scholarship. With KIP they don't have to spend money, tuition is free and even gets pocket money. For those who do not pass the SNMPTN they can also study for free with KIP at private universities. The reality on the ground is not the case because of 80% of students receiving KIP, only 20% are willing to continue. The main reason given was because of the parents' economy, even though they had been socialized about the existence of KIP, their decision had not changed, therefore a parenting program was held. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of the Parenting Program to increase parental attention to the interest of class XII students to continue their studies at SMA Negeri 3 Bondowoso for the academic year 2020-2021. This study used descriptive qualitative method. The results of the study stated that the implementation of the parenting program was not successful because many parents did not support their children to continue on the grounds that the economy was not supportive, some children were engaged, afraid that they would not be able to think about lessons, and the children were tired of studying.
