Abstract
This study shows, using data on West Sumatran and West Javanese
life-time migrants in Jakarta and educational data of the home
provinces, that West Sumatra as an area in the outer islands which was
ruled directly and had an active religious movement has "high"
education while West Java which had all the reverse characteristics
has "low" education. There are big differences in educational
characteristics between West Sumatran and West Javanese migrants in
Jakarta just as there are in the home provinces. The two migrant
groups in Jakarta tend to be self-selected to emphasize the better
educated who could come fron either rural or urban areas.
The striking difference in educational characteristics between
the two areas is due to the different course of educational
development in each area. This development was mostly influenced by
the failure of both the colonial government school system and the
Islamic Modernist movement's school system to penetrate into rural
areas of West Java.
