Indonesia is a large country and is rich in natural resources potential. Indonesia<br />greatness characterized by the extent of the area, population and strategic location in<br />the middle of the equator. While the rich natural resources of Indonesia are<br />characterized by the potential of the land, sea and air is very large. But it is<br />recognized that the greatness and richness of Indonesia have not been managed<br />properly so as not maximized to improve the welfare of society. The most important<br />part of the greatness of Indonesia is the number of the younger generation or the<br />generation of productive gold (golden generation) are quite high. It is estimated that<br />the demographic bonus (demographic devided) in 2010-2035 the number of<br />generation of gold is much higher than the number of elderly and children, which is<br />about 100 million people. However, this generation can also be a disaster (a<br />demographic disaster) if not qualified.Golden generation should be prepared from<br />now through education. In addition to establishing the competence of knowledge<br />(cognitive) and skills (psychomotor), it is also very important balance by building<br />character (affective). Education today can not answer fully the efforts to form a<br />golden generation for so many challenges and obstacles, such as juvenile<br />delinquency, drugs, promiscuity, and so forth. In the future It needs to be improved<br />character development (character building) at all levels of education to prepare<br />generations of gold (E) nergik, (M) ultitalenta, (A) ktif and (S) pritual. This<br />commitment needs to be agreed upon by the government, private and public. The aim<br />is to commemorate 100 years of the age of independence of the Republic of Indonesia<br />or Indonesian gold by 2045.
