Character Education to Build Human Indonesia ExcellenceThere are some small circles holds that the government is serious about fixing the education sector. Something
that is debatable because of the different perspectives and dimensions,
the government is committed to improving education. Ranging
from 20% budget for education, building schools buildings were damaged,
increasing the standard of living and quality of teachers and others.Education
is an important element in the development of the nation because it is
through education, basic human character development begins. Its
still fresh in mind of the writer, who was born in the era of the '70s,
our elementary school education equipped national character such as PMP
and PSPB given stock until further upgrading the model P4 (Living the
Guidelines and Pancasila). Character education is one important thing to establish and maintain a national identity. Unfortunately,
character education in Indonesia need to be given special attention
because it has been the introduction of a new touch to the level of
norms or values. Character education has not performed to the level interalisasi and action in everyday life.Education
in Indonesia is likely to put forward the mastery of knowledge and
intelligence aspects, but ignore the character education. Knowledge obtained in the moral code of moral or ethical education in schools is now being abandoned. Some people started to not notice anymore that education has an impact on a person's behavior. Though
education is expected to deliver a strong character generation, because
people can actually be educated, and to be early. Although humans have innate character, does not mean the character can not be changed. Change
the character presupposes a hard struggle, an ongoing exercise to live
good values and can not be separated from the surrounding
environmental factors. Disclosure
era of globalization has negative factors such as erosion from national
values considered as narrow as patriotism and nationalism
yangdianggap incompatible with the values of globalization and
universalization.Concerns
about the nation's character development that starts from early
childhood education to special attention from the president. On
several occasions the Cabinet Meeting, the President and the Vice
President to discuss matters of public concern in the Bohemian nation
and state, among others, are the issues and social challenges that
should be solved on the results of the contribution of the education. For
example, even though the nation has had Pancasila philosophy and
religion, but still a lot of inter-communal violence or inter-religious.The
President in his visit to the Ministry of Education and Culture, while
providing direction in limited cabinet meeting on August 31, 2012 to
discuss the Government Strategic Programs in Education should expect no
contribution can be donated by the education sector to strengthen
tolerance, good value for the attitude and behavior of the nation a compound for better. Tolerance
must be built, taught, and reinforced to students up to the level of
compulsory 9 or 12 years old, which is expected to produce something
good. 9-year
compulsory arguably the formative years, the time to establish the
characters, values, attitudes, and behaviors for the journey of human
life. If the government can teach tolerance with proper methodology, then it will stick for long.Not
only in the Cabinet Meeting on the occasion, in several events such as
the National Summit and Memorial Mother's Day, the President stressed
the importance of character building nation. Statement
quoted the President as follows: "In an era of globalization,
democracy, and modernization today, superior national character and
noble it is incumbent upon all of us to build and develop it. Character building is important, together with the national development should continue to be done. Let's light-spirited, positive thinking and optimism. With
an attitude like that, any heavy issues facing our nation, God willing,
there will always be the way, and we will be able to continue to
improve the welfare of the people of Indonesia ".Point
of the above statement is character education has a strategic function
for the progress of the nation, there must be a commitment to run a
character education as part of the national identity. The
commitment we have to run all, referring to the five values of
national character to be superhuman delivered by the President are:
Indonesian human morality, moral and well behaved;
Achieving intelligent and rational people;
Indonesia's human to be human in the future continue to pursue innovative and progress;
Strengthen the spirit of "Should Have Known", which continues to look for a solution in every difficulty;
Indonesian Man must become a true patriot who loves the nation, state and homeland.(Top of Commemoration of National Education and the National Awakening Day 2011, Friday 20Mei 2011)Education
is not only to build intelligence and the transfer of knowledge, but
also be able to build a character or character building and behavior. By
the nature of education and developed an appropriate methodology, it is
expected to be built intellectual curiosity and build common sense. It
does not get delayed again, next generation to be serious for character
education equipped to meet the five human values prevail over.
