The results showed that the definition of Believers of Mystical Groups is often equated with the notion of folk religion (or local religion, regional religion) is a term used in religious and folkloristic studies to describe various forms and applications of religions that are considered different from organized religious doctrines and practices. Folk religion has different definitions, according to scholars. There are three types of barriers to fulfilling constitutional rights for Believers of Mystical Groups, especially in education, namely philosophical barriers, juridical barriers, and sociological barriers. In the case of making legislation related to the fulfillment of the right to equitable education for members of Believers of Mystical Groups, it should be done by adopting the concept of participatory justice. In the matter of realizing the right to equitable education for members of Believers of Mystical Groups, the government should be more careful and always guided to the values of Pancasila (Five Principles of the Indonesian State), especially in the 2nd principle, namely just and civilized humanity and the 5th principle on social justice for all Indonesian people.
