Nowadays, Indonesia is up against human resources crisis, specifically the character<br />problem. The vision, mission, approach, strategies, and goals of character education<br />are not clear and ambiguous. Consequently, the character education in formal and nonformal<br />schools does not run effectively. Character is a relatively permanent mental<br />nature which influences people‟s thought, acts, and behaviors, good or bad. 2045<br />generation is called “characterized golden generation” and should have positive<br />behaviors, akhlakul karimah, broad mind-set, high commitment, and good competence<br />based on al-Qur‟an and Sunnah. Positif behavior is the reflection of the value of<br />Pancasila and human being. Akhlakul karimah is a good character without thought.<br />Commitment is loyalty. And competence is professionalism. The characters that 2045<br />golden generation should have are the main power to develop Indonesia as a gorgeous,<br />glorious, and prestigious country. The design of character education is needed to<br />prepare the 2045 golden generation.
