In Indonesia, three institutions are responsible for the sustainability of education, namely family, school, and society. Since a child enters school age, the responsibility for his/her education is left to the school, without eliminating his/her family. During the Covid-19 pandemic, it seems as if the role of education is left to the family, which is forced to accept and support the government’s efforts. This article would examine literature and opinions regarding strengthening the role of education in the family during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose was to find out what the role of the family is in the educational process of children at home during the Covid-19 pandemic as a form of harmonious cooperation with schools and what families should do to strengthen education during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study found that the role of the family to strengthen education at home was to motivate, guide, and assist children in participating in learning at home, realize their obligations and responsibility for education for their children, and support all directions from the government, schools, and teachers regarding the learning process at home.
