Education for Banjar Women in the Digital Era

Abstract

Education for Banjar women in the digital era is a strategic aspect in building social roles, maintaining cultural identity, and responding to technological developments. Although women's domestic role is still dominant in Banjar's cultural structure, access to education, both formal, non-formal, and informal, is increasingly open thanks to digital advancements. This research aims to explore the forms of participation and challenges faced by Banjar women in accessing education in the digital era.
The research was conducted using a qualitative method through an anthropological approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and digital literature studies. The results of the study show that Banjar women are active in education through various online platforms such as social media, YouTube, and webinars that support flexible learning. However, challenges such as the digital divide, the validity of information sources, and social stigma remain barriers. In conclusion, digital education is a significant means of empowerment for Banjar women to improve the quality of life, maintain traditional values, and adapt to dynamic social developments. The active role of women in education strengthens an inclusive and competitive family and society structure.
