Pancasila Foundation Day 2026 School Ceremony: Schedule, Timing and Dress Code
The Pancasila Foundation Day ceremony on 1 June is held not only in government and private institutions but also educational establishments. With the event approaching, readers must be aware of the complete guidelines, including the schedule, timing, and the speech to be delivered.
Historically, Pancasila Foundation Day was established through Presidential Decree (Keppres) RI No. 24 of 2016. Under this regulation, 1 June was chosen as it was when Ir Soekarno delivered a speech outlining the state’s foundational principles known as Pancasila.
“It was for the first time that Pancasila as the state’s foundation was introduced by Ir. Soekarno, a member of the Investigating Body for Preparatory Work for Indonesian Independence, during a meeting of the same body on 1 June 1945,” states point C of the decree’s considerations.
Keppres No. 24 of 2016 confirms Pancasila Foundation Day as a national holiday, urging the public and government to observe it annually, with flag ceremonies being one of the key events.
Below is the detailed schedule, timing, and speech for the 2026 Pancasila Foundation Day flag ceremony.

Fathers, Mothers, and fellow countrymen,
Today, 1 June 2026, we stand once again on sacred soil to commemorate Pancasila Foundation Day. More than an annual ceremony, this is a moment for reflection to ensure the spirit of Pancasila continues to burn in every Indonesian.
