Manokwari \u2014 The Chairman of Committee III of the DPD RI, Filep\nWamafa, has educated high school students in Manokwari Regency, West\nPapua, on the importance of implementing character education from an\nearly age as an effort to prevent an integrity crisis.<\/p>\n
This was conveyed by Filep while serving as a speaker during the\n\u2018Gebyar Ceria Ramaja\u2019 camping activity for the Manokkwari area, themed\n\u2018Creating, Serving, and Achieving\u2019, held in Manokwari on Friday.<\/p>\n
According to him, current developments in information technology must\nbe balanced with the strengthening of character education, so that\nstudents are able to avoid various potential behavioural deviations in\nthe future. The formation of an integrous character, he stated, must\nbegin within educational institutions, as students are the nation\u2019s next\ngeneration and future leaders who will determine the direction of\ndevelopment.<\/p>\n
\u201cCharacter education in Papua as a whole is currently beginning to\nfade, even though education is extremely important in determining the\nfuture direction of the younger generation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to Filep, extracurricular activities such as camping that\naccommodate character education concepts should be organised\ncontinuously by all educational institutions in Manokwari. Local\ngovernments are expected to not only focus on implementing free\neducation programmes or improving infrastructure but also to ensure that\nstudents possess discipline, honesty, resilience, and\ncompetitiveness.<\/p>\n
As Chairman of Committee III, he will hold a meeting with the\nMinister of Primary and Secondary Education to discuss the character\neducation curriculum for the Papua region. The formulation of\neducational policies at the central government level needs to consider\nthe regional characteristics, socio-culture, politics, and economy of\neach area, especially Papua.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, there should be what is known as affirmative policy. I\nhope local governments are concerned with implementing continuous\nextracurricular activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He noted that the Gebyar Ceria camp serves as a platform for\ncharacter building, expanding horizons, and strengthening the\nparticipants\u2019 spirit to continue learning and achieving their goals\ntowards \u2018Indonesia Emas 2045\u2019. He added that an individual\u2019s success is\nnot determined solely by possessing a diploma, but also by the quality\nof knowledge and skills acquired through a serious learning process.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dpd-ri-educates-high-school-students-in-manokwari-to-prevent-integrity-crisis-1785496156", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
