Abstract
The behavior and attitude of families significantly impact various aspects of children's lives, including their education. Most educational problems of labor and street children are tied to the behaviors and beliefs of their families and have been affected by them. The present research used a qualitative method and examined the views of key informants about the behavior and attitude of labor children's families towards their education in Gorgan. The participants were selected using a targeted sampling method from among leading informants, university professors, and governmental and non-governmental experts. The data were collected through 2 group interviews and 14 in-depth interviews with these people and were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis method. Five main themes as the principal attitudes of families towards education were extracted from the findings of the qualitative part of the research: lack of belief in education, traditional thinking towards education, disappointment in the effectiveness of education, impressionability, and imitation of people around and cultural poverty, these attitudes were extracted from the informants' opinion as the main behaviors and attitudes of families towards the education of labor children and have led to the adoption of different strategies in a relationship of impact and influence, and had different consequences for the education and training of labor and street children. As a result, according to the informants, it seems that intervention based on cultural attitudes is necessary to solve the challenge of education of labor and street children. The educational problems of these children will continue until the attitude of the families towards education changes through appropriate educational programs derived from appropriate study approaches and methods. We will continue to witness low-quality education and many dropouts, especially from elementary school onwards. As a result, the increase in the problems and social damage in this group will be inevitable
