Educational Regulation Ineffectiveness in Instilling Pancasila Character in Reform Era

Abstract

This research aims to find out the ineffectiveness of government regulation in preparing the students with Pancasila character in reform era. Socio-legal research method was used by analyzing and describing the factor causing the ineffectiveness of primary legal material with social science and primary legal material aids. The result of research shows the ineffectiveness of educational regulation in instilling Pancasila character during reform era due to three factors: firstly, the aim and objective of the educational regulation not delivered successfully because the regulation often changes leading to the students and the teachers’ lost orientation; secondly, the contradiction between the objective of educational regulation to instill Pancasila character and the people’s aspiration; and thirdly, the less powerful instrument to support the educational regulation to embody Pancasila character. In the future, the decision of MPR (House of Representatives) should be reconstructed to be the law protection for the blueprint of Pancasila character education that is implemented consistently and sustainably by BSKAP and BPIP to embody students and college students.
