Teachers of State Elementary School 6 Palu, Central Sulawesi, are giving Religion lessons to their students, Tuesday (16/10/2018).

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Based on the results of the National Assessment held by the Education, Culture, Research and Technology Ministry, an inconsistency emerges between the results of religious education and behavior which appreciates humanity, as mandated by religious teachings.

The results of the National Assessment portray a high index of faith, piety and the noble character of students. However, at school, it turns out that the appreciation of diversity (tolerance in diversity) is still low, while harassment (bullying) and sexual violence are still high.
