The findings signify that the Sikep children have a specific narrative on education. Such narratives determine their interpretation of the education process in their daily lives. There are specific principles of learning held by the Sikep children such as the parents are the main teachers, learning agricultural works in their daily lives as a part of the hard-skills requirement, and practicing local values of morality and spirituality as soft skills. The narrative of the Sikep children on education suggests that school as a learning process in their daily lives cannot be replaced by the formal school. Hence, the education process which accommodates the local values is necessary to increase the Sikep children’s participation in formal school.
