Sedulur Sikep Dukuh Kaliyoso never submit and even never wants to hand over their children education to formal, non-formal, and informal institution.They set out the education value. Education value appears in the form of an ethic that forbids to: drengki; srei; panasten; kemeren; dahwen; nyiyo marang sepodo; lan bejok reyot iku sedulure, waton menungso tur gelem di ndaku sedulur. It exists in a taboo tenet: bedok; colong; jumput; pethil; nemu wae ora keno. Beside that it also exists a basic tenet in self principled: kudu weruh tek-e dhewe; lugu; rukun; lan mligi.
