description Indonesian migrant workers serve as essential contributors to their families and communities, yet state support for them remains insufficient, as evidenced by the legal challenges they face abroad. A significant factor behind these issues is their lack of knowledge and skills in practical legal matters related to their work environments. This paper highlights the importance of legal literacy as a critical competency for these workers. Utilizing a qualitative socio-legal research approach, primary data was collected through surveys and focus group discussions conducted over the past three years (2020-2022), complemented by secondary data from relevant literature. The findings suggest that a distance education and learning platform, offered in a continuing education (non-degree) format, is the most effective design for providing Indonesian migrant workers with the necessary educational access to navigate their rights and responsibilities successfully while working overseas.
