JAKARTA - Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) Nadiem Makarim emphasized that Pancasila and Indonesian courses remain in the curriculum at the higher education level.
"This PP SNP was prepared by referring to Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System and the substance of the compulsory curriculum is written exactly in accordance with the Law. However, the regulation of the compulsory higher education curriculum has been re-regulated in Law Number 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education and it seems that it needs to be emphasized, ”said Nadiem Makarim.
Nadiem Makarim's affirmation responded after the news about the loss of Pancasila and Indonesian language courses at the tertiary level. This is in line with the issuance of Government Regulation Number 57 of 2021 concerning National Education Standards (PP SNP).
Submission of the PP SNP revision refers to article 5 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, then Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System, and Law Number 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education.
"We express our gratitude for the attention of the public and at the same time ask for the blessing so that the harmonization process with other ministries or institutions related to the revision of Government Regulation Number 57 of 2021 can run smoothly and be completed soon," said Nadiem as quoted by Antara.
