The honorable Mr. Kartawijaya as the Principal, the honorable all teachers, and all my dearest friends. First of all, let’s praise and gratitude to God who has given His grace and favor so that we can all come together in this place in a healthy condition without any obstruction.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In this nice occasion let me talk about the importance of character education for Indonesian people especially teenagers.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Indonesia had been known as a civilized country since a long time ago, but in these few decades, this country gets many bad nicknames from the world community. One of them is the most corrupt country in the world. It makes our national pride in the eyes of the world becomes nothing. Moreover, about the condition of our nation’s moral degradation at this time, takes for example in 2007, the National Commission (Komnas) child protection surveyed 4500 young people in Indonesia. The result was so surprising that 97% of those teenagers admitted to watching porn, 97.3% admitted to kissing, oral s*x and petting. In addition, the case of the fight that has been going on lately is reflecting the nation’s moral decline. Based on the problems above we can say that character education in Indonesia is absolutely needed to fix.
