University of Indonesia professor of psychology, Hamdi Muluk said, basic education in Indonesia must be addressed by placing character education as a pressure point.
According to Hamdi Muluk, Tuesday (2/19), the basic education level needed is to teach integrity values which contain honesty, responsibility, consistency, and values of independence. In addition, unity values that teach tolerance, respect, respect, courtesy to the older ones.
"This value education is actually what will equip people to face the real world, what is often referred to as life skills," said Hamdi Muluk.
After the values are embedded well and produce strong character, the new child begins to be taught to master scholastic skills such as reading, arithmetic, language, and science. Not the opposite.
"Our basic education system is rather chaotic. PAUD, kindergarten, and elementary schools have more academic content than education in ethical values," Hamdi said.
With basic education as it is now, it is not surprising that various inappropriate actions from school children such as brawls, abuse, and violence against teachers occur.
This is exacerbated by the influence of the environment and the absence of examples from figures who should provide good examples.
Therefore, said Hamdi, besides improving basic education, character education for the younger generation also needs to be strengthened.
The expert group member of the National Counter Terrorism Agency (BNPT) hopes that religious education will enlighten children to respect life that is more democratic, tolerant, respectful, rahmatan lil alamin.
"It is not even given the rigid doctrine of halal or haram, infidelity, heresy, and so on. This is so that children do not grow up with extreme religious fanaticism because this is the seed of radical terrorists in the future. Religious teachers also need to be re-arranged so that they can teach their students polite and respectful religious values, "said Hamdi Muluk.
