Children’s participation in a child-friendly school is important for ensuring that children are involved, respected, and heard in school policies to fulfill their rights. This paper aims to describe the children’s participation in the implementation program. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used through interviews, observation at two schools, and questionnaires as data collection techniques. Data analyses were carried out interactively within the children’s rights analytical framework. The result shows that children’s participation is defined as involvement in various schools’ activities and not at the level of ideas.
