JAKARTA - Member of Commission II DPR MF Nurhuda Yusro supports Vice President Ma'ruf Amin's statement regarding the plan to restore Pancasila as a separate subject in the education curriculum.

This is stipulated in Government Regulation (PP) Number 4 of 2022 concerning National Education Standards.

According to Nurhuda, the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP), a partner of Commission II of the DPR, has also proposed the same plan.

"I support the Vice President's statement, because BPIP had previously proposed this when invited to attend the RDP with Commission X with the Ministry of Education and Culture," said Nurhuda to VOI, Thursday, April 7.

Nurhuda assessed that the understanding of Pancasila was getting weaker. According to him, education has a responsibility to provide this understanding.

"If we pay attention and feel, the understanding and practice of Pancasila as an ideology, the basis of the state and our way of life is getting weaker," said the PKB politician.

Questioning the revival of Pancasila because the TNI Commander allowed descendants of the PKI to register as soldiers, Nurhuda said there was no correlation. The reason is that the proposal for Pancasila to return to being a subject has been proclaimed since last year.

"I don't think so (there is a connection with the statement by the TNI Commander, ed). The proposal for Pancasila was included in the curriculum a year ago. Meanwhile, the TNI Commander's statement was recent," he said.

The Central Java legislator believes that the TNI has its own mechanism to screen soldiers who are NKRI.

"If there are concerns that the descendants of the PKI lack Pancasila, we believe that the TNI has its own mechanism to accept them with a strict selection," concluded Nurhuda.
