The term of Deschooling society is meant to be a group of people that have no educational institutions and/or those group reject the institutions. Although most of the Indonesian villages and remote areas have at least formal education which is administered by government or other private organization, Baduy People in contrast have been intentionally reject the idea of schooling for their children. Baduy People is completely illiterate.

 Going to school, as any other 'outsider' activity are all taboos for them according to their traditional customs. It is strongly prohibited by the top leader, "Puun." However, this does not necessarily mean that they do not educate their children. They do! On daily activity they teach the boy how to cultivate agriculture. The girl will have to learn how to woven fabric and how to cook as well.
