the world of education in Indonesia. Indonesia is a diverse country with a rich
cultural heritage, but in recent years, there has been a growing concern about
the decline of values such as honesty, respect, and responsibility among young
people. This is evidenced by the increasing incidence of corruption,
intolerance, and violence, which has become a major social problem in
Indonesia.
