Efforts
to protect and enforce human rights through education are actually almost the
same as efforts through awareness campaigns. The difference is, the effort
through education is an official government effort carried out on the basis of
a programmed and systematic curriculum and activities. In essence, efforts
through education are also intended to provide knowledge and awareness of human
rights, but with the target community groups who are still in school and
college age.
PMP (Pendidikan
Moral Pancasila/Pancasila Moral Education) which has now changed to PPKn (Pendidikan
Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan/Pancasila and Citizenship Education) is the only
subject that provides material about human rights to students and students. In
this subject, there is special material on human rights. In addition, it is
also taught about the rights and obligations of citizens. Human rights as well
as rights and obligations in general are usually given in this lesson on the
main legal basis of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.
Efforts
through education are actually very important and vital to impart knowledge and
awareness of human rights. This is because these efforts are made for students
who are still in their infancy and their awareness and personality are
relatively easy to shape. However, efforts through school education,
unfortunately, have so far been considered to have not brought maximum results.
Material
on human rights is not provided as an independent subject, but is only a small
part of the PPKn lesson. In addition, lessons on human rights are not matched
by providing adequate examples. What is taught to students is often contrary to
real life situations. Students are educated to understand and respect human
rights, but in real life many government officials, leaders and figures have
committed human rights violations. This causes human rights learning to
students to be less fully absorbed and lived up to.
