Equality education of package C is part of non-formal education which provides opportunities for people who do not or have not had the opportunity to obtain high school level education in schools to be able to acquire knowledge in order to develop their knowledge and abilities. One of the successes in learning activities lies in the learning model used by educators to their students. The learning model used by educators must certainly be able to arouse enthusiasm for learning, raise critical thinking skills, develop the potential of students. Project based learning is a learning model that can be applied by educators to their students by providing projects that can be carried out together in a group that can direct them to be more active, creative in the learning process. Andragogy is a learning approach that views  students as adults with all the consequences (rich experience, having a certain self-image, a certain readiness to learn, and so on). Project based learning based on the andragogy approach is a learning model in which students are given a project to solve their problems based on certain aspects of self-concept, experience, readiness to learn. This study emphasizes that the project based learning model based on the andragogy approach is good for use in learning in equality education of package C which can create students who have the ability to think critically, collaboratively, innovatively (21st century learning skills). Giving projects in learning activities in package C will be more meaningful if it is carried out with an andragogical approach which emphasizes more flexibility in implementing learning rules that are in accordance with student goals.
