Media Indonesia, halaman  11

Negara semestinya membangun mekanisme pengawasan terhadap praktik pendidikan yang tidak sejalan dengan ideologi kebangsaan dan kebinekaan di sekolah. Hal itu merupakan salah satu poin rekomendasi bagi pemerintah dalam focus group discussion (FGD) kelompok pendidikan dalam seminar dan lokakarya bertema Indonesia di persimpangan: Negara Pancasila vs negara agama, yang berlangsung di Hotel Aryaduta, Jakarta, Sabtu, 8 April 2017 lalu.

Menurut Sekjen Indonesian Conference on Religion and Peace (ICRP) Musdah Mulia, praktik yang dimaksud di atas marak terjadi, bahkan di sekolah negeri. Dalam FGD yang difasilitasi Henny Supolo Sitepu dan George Sicilia itu juga dihasilkan empat poin rekomendasi lain.
Pertama, negara mesti membuat kebijakan untuk melawan diskriminasi dan intoleransi di lingkungan pendidikan dengan melibatkan perempuan dan anak dalam pengembangan kebijakan pendidikan dimaksud. Kedua, negara mesti membuat kebijakan pendidikan inklusif yang mendorong dan mempromosikan perjumpaan antarkelompok masyarakat/siswa.

Ketiga, mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai Pancasila sebagai ideologi negara dan living values seperti toleransi, keragaman, dan kebinekaan ke dalam kurikulum pendidikan. Dan keempat, mengembangkan kapasitas guru, termasuk guru agama (madrasah dll) dalam memahami nilai-nilai Pancasila, ideologi kebangsaan, toleransi, dan keragaman.

FGD itu juga menghasilkan rekomendasi bagi masyarakat. Salah satunya ialah menjadikan rumah dan lingkungan sebagai fokus pendidikan dengan orangtua dan masyarakat sebagai teladan bagi anak-anak.

Deputy Education Ministry within the Ministry of Education and Culture, Musliar Kasim, said the theme of climate change must be included in the 2013 Curriculum. Climate change must be taught to students in primary up to senior secondary school in order to help them understand recent issues related to climate change.

Musliar stated that the Indonesian National Commission for UNESCO (KNIU) and the Ministry of Education and Culture has partnered up with UNESCO to hold the Workshop on the Contribution of ASPnet Schools in Minimizing Climate Change.

“As many as 10 headmasters each from primary schools, junior secondary schools, senior secondary schools, and vocational schools have participated in this activity. This is necessary in order for them to be able to teach students about climate change,” he explained.

Wakil Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Musliar Kasim mengatakan tema perubahan iklim penting diimplementasikan dalam Kurikulum 2013. Perubahan iklim ini harus diajarkan sejak SD hingga SMA agar mereka memahami perubahan iklim yang terjadi akhir-akhir ini.

Komisi Nasional Indonesia untuk UNESCO (KNIU) dan Kemendikbud bekerja sama dengan UNESCO menyelenggarakan Workshop on the Contribution of ASPnet Schools in Minimizing Climate Change. “Kegiatan ini diikuti 40 kepala sekolah, masing-masing 10 kepala sekolah di jenjang SD, SMP, SMA, dan SMK.”

Sekjen Komnas Pendidikan Andreas Tambah mengatakan, sebenarnya tema perubahan iklim itu sudah ada sejak dulu di mata pelajaran ilmu Bumi dan Antariksa. Materi tentang perubahan iklim harus selalu mengikuti perkembangan yang terjadi di lapangan.

Di tempat terpisah, anggota Komisi X DPR RI Herlini Amran mengatakan perubahan iklim memang harus diajarkan kepada anak-anak, namun harus dilakukan dengan cara sederhana dan mudah dimengertui.
