2,000 students scan Pancasila, Constitution

SURAKARTA: Around a pair of,000 junior and senior highschool students in Surakarta, Central Java, scan Pancasila and also the preamble to the 1945 Constitution on Sunday.

Event organizer Rochmad Suryadi said that the event was aimed to encourage nationalism among students.

He said that many recent surveys had shown that almost all Indonesian students had not memorized the state ideology Pancasila or the four-paragraph preamble to the Constitution.

“That is why we’re holding the event,” Rohmad said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com on Sunday.

Student Heninda Rahmawati said that she may simply recite the 5 pillars of Pancasila, however she said was less assured in her memorization of the preamble to the Constitution.

Heninda said that it absolutely was not enough to memorize Pancasila and also the Constitution’s preamble. “We have to be compelled to apply these values in our daily lives,” she said.

State ideological education in faculties has recently been within the spotlight as radical and extremist movements have reportedly mistreated the ideas of pluralism and tolerance in Indonesia.
