Education for character building

Education is really important thing in our lives. Education is how to educate our selves to become the true human being. That’s why the goverment encourage the society to educate their selves by  nine-year studying compulsory .  Beside that, the goverment has a program. It is free fee of education. But the fact that our education still left behind with our neighbours, such as Singapore, Malay, Vietnam, and Brunei. Brunei is order that 35, it’s better than Indonesia. This condition is really apprehensive.
Lately, Indonesia has a low quality in education. In the same manner as, According to media compas (3/3/2012) at 12 page “education and culture”, by that very fact in Education For All (EFA) global Monitoring report 2011 was said by UNESCO and releas in new york on Monday, 1/3/2012, index education building in indonesia is 69 from 127 countries  which on survey. Last year, Indonesia took rank 65. On the other hand, education system of Indonesia still drip for cognitve intelegent. We can see, school still busy to arrange matters , such as middle examination and final examination. Adding exercise, such as homework, exercise at school and so on. Of course, all of them do not support or uncomportable with daily activities of students. Actually, School ought to become please place for the students to create or to increase their good character.
In my point of view, to solve this problem is the goverment should impose education character. According to David Elkind & freddy Sweet Ph.D (2004), “Education Character is the deliberate effort to help people understand ,care about, and act upon core ethical value. When we think about the kind of character we want for our children , it is clear that we want them be able to judge what is right, and then do what they believe to be right, even in the face of pressure from without and temptation from within”. Then, according to T.Ramli (2003), “Education character has a quintessense (essense), sense  and morals education. The purpose is to build child personal, hope so, they becoming good young  generation.
Based on statement above, I believe that when we maintain morality, discipline, and responsibilty to students in very first time, it will create the young generation for the better future. So that we can compete with the other countries. That’s why we have to keep or impose education character in our lovely country.
