The respondents of the research were the principals, teachers, students, school committee, and parents. The data were obtained through in-depth interview, observation and documentation study which were analyzed qualitatively. The result of the research shows that the pattern of educational configuration is formed by the variations of school’s implementation of responsibilities carried out separately and consecutively in a family, schools and a social community. The quality of education at the level of school system is considered better compared to that of individuals and it also varies based on the school’s condition.
