Abstract

Tradition is a value and norm that has been passed down from ancestors to generations and must be continued to the next generation who live in the society, where the tradition is binding absolutely to the community. The purpose of this study was to find the changing tradition of Baduy Indonesia tribe due to the incoming education from the outside. This research used the descriptive qualitative method which chose Baduy Indonesia tribe from a west java as the sampling frame, it was chosen from the purposive sampling survey. The results of this study indicates that, in order to go to school, the children of Baduy tribe must be willing to bring their crops to be sold in the city, therefore they have the reason to get out of the village and go to study at school. The conclusion of this paper is education will not change the traditions of the Baduy tribe of Indonesia; with the education, people will be able to face the increasingly globalised world. The next generation of the tribe will not leave the village because they live and grow in the middle of custom rules and they will also keep the customary rules.
