- Abstract
In this era of disruption, we are constantly facing the challenges of a changing world. The role of education is no longer limited to the transfer of knowledge and skills. As represented by Sustainable Development Goal 4, Education for Sustainable Development, the role of education is expanding in order to prepare young citizens who can not only cope with rapidly changing social conditions but who also have the capacity to transform society into a more sustainable one. Not surprisingly, equipping these next-generation citizens with intangible skills such as discipline, ethics, and morality has become a priority for educators internationally. It is in this context that there has been emerging interest in “tokkatsu,” a holistic Japanese approach to educating children. In this paper, tokkatsu is presented as a promising approach to addressing some of the serious issues in the Indonesian educational system, with a focus on developing the social skills, ethical framework and values of Indonesia’s next generation.
