Indonesia’s Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is introducing a program centered around seven core habits aimed at strengthening the character of home-schooled children. The initiative responds to the growing number of students educated outside of traditional school settings. Officials believe instilling these habits – details of which were not specified in the report – will equip students with essential values and social skills. The Ministry views character building as crucial, particularly for those not integrated into the daily social environment of a conventional school. This program seeks to provide a structured approach to moral and ethical development for this population. Further details regarding implementation and assessment of the program are expected to be released by the Ministry. The move reflects a broader national focus on character education across all learning environments.
