Indonesian school character and sustainability programs

Overview

Educational institutions in Indonesia are implementing various programs focused on character development, religious tolerance, and environmental sustainability.

Initial efforts included religious tolerance initiatives at SMPN 5 Purwakarta, which provides dedicated worship spaces for multiple faiths to ensure students can practice their religion comfortably. In Yogyakarta, SMP Muhammadiyah 8 launched the Panca Tertib program and a ‘Zero Waste Movement’ to teach students the 5R principles: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot.

Subsequent initiatives expanded on sustainability and food security. Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang introduced a mandatory tumbler movement to reduce single-use plastic, supported by campus water refill stations. Additionally, SD Negeri Purwosari in Sleman integrated food security into its curriculum by using recycled plastic jugs as planters for vegetable gardens. This program involves students in the full agricultural cycle and utilizes organic waste for compost.
