ROLE OF TRADITIONAL VILLAGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ON THE EDUCATION OF CHILDREN

Abstract

Development programs are carried out to achieve welfare of community. Human Development Index (HDI), as one measure of welfare, places the education sector as one aspect other than the economic sector (income per capita), because the level of education influences the level of income. The level of education will be even higher if there is an increase in access to education, namely decreasing dropout rates and increasing school-age children who continue their education up to secondary education according to the 12-year compulsory education program. Children's education level is influenced by family environment, school environment and community environment. Traditional villages in Bali with very strong social capital has a form of traditional customs named awig-awig and pararem - reciprocal relations such as mutual cooperation, family ties, and community trusts -is still very strong role in improving children's education. In the implementation of educational development, synergy between the local government and traditional villages is needed so that the level of education increases and so does welfare of the community.
