Abstract : The SDGs have the main principle, namely that they are universally applicable, with 

the development target applicable to all underdeveloped, developing, and developed areas, as well 

as every citizen. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the field of education are related 

to the quality of good education with the substance of ensuring the distribution of quality 

education and increasing learning opportunities for all, ensuring inclusive and equitable education, 

and encouraging lifelong learning opportunities for all. Quality education, in accordance with the 

mandate in the law, is more emphasized in character building. This article is a conceptual overview 

of finding a character education model that is accessible to all levels of society and provides lifelong 

learning opportunities for all. In looking for answers to these objectives, the author uses a 

qualitative approach by analyzing the literature related to existing problems. The results obtained 

from this study are in the form of a religious culture-based education model. There are at least five 

religious cultures that can be applied, namely; (1) TSP (Tahan dari buang sampah sembarangan, Simpan 

sampah pada tempatnya, Pungut sampah insya Allah sedekah); (2) BEBASKOMIBA (BE-berantakan-

rapikan; BAS-basah-keringkan; KO-kotor-bersihkan; MI-miring-luruskan; BA-bahaya-amankan); (3) 3M 

(Mulai dari diri sendiri; Mulai dari hal yang kecil; Mulai saat ini); (4) 5K (Kerja keras; Kerja cerdas; Kerja 

mawas; Kerja tuntas; Kerka ikhlas); dan (5) 7B (Beribadah dengan baik, benar, dan istiqomah; Berakhlak baik; 

Belajar tekun tiada henti; Bekerja keras, cerdas, dan ikhlas; Bersahaja dalam hidup; Bantu sesama; Bersihkan 

hati selalu). Based on the study of the author, this educational model can be applied to achieve 

SDGs in education number 4.

INTRODUCTION 

Poverty is a discourse that is a burden on the world. Therefore, an the international meeting was 

held in September 2000 with 189 countries participating. The meeting resulted in a declaration 

called The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In its implementation, it has been successful,

including reducing the number of the world's poor people by almost half 1. However, this era was 

only able to last until 2015 because the MDGs only focused on development issues in developing 

and underdeveloped countries, where developed countries played more of a role as donors. 

Sustainable Development Goals, abbreviated as SDGs, is a sustainable development system that 

continues the previous system, namely the MDGs2. The SDGs have the main principle, namely 

that they apply universally with the development target that applies to all underdeveloped, 

developing, and advanced areas, as well as every citizen3. The SDGs goal is a global goal, where 

everyone has the right to enjoy peace and prosperity that can create many results and be useful for 

common goals 4. These goals and targets cover three dimensions of sustainable development, 

namely environmental, social, and economic 5. 

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the field of education, especially number 4, are to 

ensure inclusive and equal quality education, as well as support lifelong learning opportunities for 

all 6. This study focuses more on quality education and supports lifelong learning opportunities for 

all. The area reviewed in this article is character education. Character education is important in 

Indonesia because of the many behaviors that degrade human dignity. Corruption is one of the 

big agendas that must be fought in this country 7. Based on a survey by the BKKBN (National 

Population and Family Planning Board) in 2008, it was stated that 63% of adolescents in big cities 

in Indonesia had had premarital sex 8. 

In the records of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in 2014, it was reported that 

the Human Development Index (HDI) is a combination of indicators such as health, wealth, and 

education. Indonesian education is in position 108, global competition going forward, competition 

from the Asean Economic Community (AEC), where the way to improve the readiness and 

competitiveness of Indonesian human resources in the future is none other than through 

education, so it is not surprising that the education sector and having good morals occupies priority 

the highest order in the allocation of the state revenue and expenditure budget (APBN). 

With regard to the quality of character education in Indonesia, it can refer to the goals of National 

Education, as stated in Law No. 20 of 20039. It is conveyed in the Law that: “Pendidikan nasional 

berfungsi mengembangkan kemampuan dan membentuk watak serta peradaban bangsa yang bermartabat dalam 

rangka mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa, bertujuan untuk berkembangnya potensi peserta didik agar menjadi 

manusia yang beriman dan bertakwa kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, berakhlak mulia, sehat, berilmu, cakap, 

kreatif, mandiri, dan menjadi warga negara yang demokratis serta bertanggung jawab.”

In achieving a dignified national civilization, moral and human values are needed. The definition 

of humanity itself is closely related to the reality of humanity and its various aspects. These aspects 

include that humans are objective beings who, of course, differ from other objective beings with 

their respect for freedom of choice; this means that their actions and behavior are the results of 

judgment and ability, even though they are relative. Second, humans are greatly influenced by their 

surroundings, such as the physical environment and other life. Third, human life is a social life that 

naturally interacts with other humans. Fourth, humans are closely related to their creator because 

the one who created them is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala (Abdullah and Syahri 2018). 

Islamic education 10 is a process carried out to create complete human beings, have faith and 

devotion to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and are able to realize their existence as the caliph of Allah 

on earth, which is based on the teachings of Al-Quran and Sunnah 11. This means that Islamic 

education is never separated from its foundation, namely the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah. Therefore, 

in the al-Quran, there are values that refer to Islamic education. 

In Nugroho and Mustaidah12, this value consists of three pillars, namely i'tiqodiyah, khuluqiyah value, 

and amaliyah value 13. Khuluqiyah values are teachings about good things and bad things, which 

concern human behavior and actions. The value of amaliyah is related to education on daily 

behavior, both related to religious education and muamalah education. The i'tiqodiyah value is a 

value related to faith education such as believing in Allah, Angels, the Book, the Last Day Apostle, 

and destiny, which aims to organize individual beliefs 14. 

Concentrated and planned education that seeks to restore human dignity can be shaped through 

culture. The form of culture is often interpreted as a social system. This social system is built from 

human activities that interact, relate, and an associate from time to time (Fathurrohman 2016). 

Therefore, education through culture tends to be easier to implement anywhere and is a lifelong 

lesson. 

As seen in the sound of the Pancasila Precepts 1, Indonesia is a religious country, namely "God 

Almighty." The culture that is rightly applied in the Indonesian nation is religious culture. Religious 

culture is a set of religious values that underlie behavior, traditions, daily habits, and symbols 

practiced by all stakeholders in every educational institution (Abdullah and Syahri 2018). The 

religious values listed here are as referred to previously, namely the values of Islamic education 

that reflect humanity. 

In Abdullah,15 there are 8 religious cultures that indicate Islamic human values, namely: 

1. TSP (Tahan dari buang sampah sembarangan, Simpan sampah pada tempatnya, Pungut sampah insya 

Allah sedekah) 

2. BEBASKOMIBA (BE-berantakan-rapikan; BAS-basah-keringkan; KO-kotor-bersihkan; MI-

miring-luruskan; BA-bahaya-amankan)

Through this article, the author tries to examine the eight cultures that support the achievement 

of the goals of sustainable development in education, especially in number 4. 

 

Methods 

This research uses a qualitative approach. A qualitative approach is a type of research where the 

findings are not obtained through statistical procedures or other forms of calculation. In practice, 

this research is the result of literature research, which puts forward a philosophical approach. The 

philosophical approach is used as an effort to interpret data more dominantly based on logical 

reasoning from the presentation of data as it is 16. 

In connection with data collection, the author uses the documentation method, which is looking 

for matters related to the problem from various literature, books, scientific journals, and other 

scientific works from the internet that can be scientifically justified17. 

 

RESULT AND DISCUSSION 

Concept of Sustainable Development Goals 

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a sustainable development system, which continues 

the goals of the new Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to reduce the results by half. 

Therefore, the SDGs was formed to solve the country's problems from various ASEAN countries' 

imbalances, especially in education. Starting in 2016, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 

2015-2030 officially replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2000-2015. SDGs 

contain a set of transformative goals that are agreed upon and apply to all nations without 

exception. 

The SDGs have 17 targets (Central Bureau of Statistics 2016, 9–247) to be achieved, including: 

1. End poverty anywhere and in all forms 

2. End hunger, achieve better food and nutrition security, and support sustainable agriculture. 

3. Ensure healthy lives and support well-being for all ages. 

4. Ensure inclusive and equal quality education while also supporting lifelong learning 

opportunities for all.

5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. 

6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. 

7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. 

8. Promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth; full participation in productive work, 

the kind of decent work for all. 

9. Build infrastructure (infrastructure) that is durable/strong, promotes inclusive and 

sustainable industrialization, and supports innovation. 

10. Increase access to small-scale industries and other small-scale businesses, especially in 

developing countries. Reduce inequality within and between countries. 

11. Build cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, durable/strong, and sustainable. 

12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. 

13. Take urgent action steps to address climate change and its impacts. 

14. Protect and use the oceans, seas, and marine resources in a sustainable manner for 

sustainable development. 

15. Protect, restore, and increase the use of the earth's ecosystem in a sustainable manner, 

manage forests sustainably, stop, and reverse soil degradation and loss of biodiversity. 

16. Create peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to 

justice for all, build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. 

17. Strengthen the way of implementing and revitalizing (reviving) the global partnership for 

sustainable development. 

Based on the SDGs' 17 main objectives and targets, it can be concluded that the main 

dimensions lie in social, economic, and environmental issues 18. Here are the opinions of experts 

in explaining the meaning of sustainable development goals as follows: 

According to Emil Salim 19, sustainable development is a development process that optimizes the 

benefits of natural resources from human resources by harmonizing natural resources with humans 

in development. According to Ignas Kleden (SPES 1992, XV), Sustainable development is a 

development that optimizes the use of human and natural resources, but at the same time preserves 

both of them with various demands that are contrary to these resources. The characteristics of 

Sustainable Development, namely; (1) Conducted equally and fairly; (2) Maintaining existing 

biodiversity; (3) Using an integrative approach; (4) Long-term in nature; (5) Meeting the needs of 

the present without jeopardizing the fulfillment of the needs of future generations and linking that 

economic development must be balanced with environmental conservation; (6) The implemented 

development does not occur or is able to minimize environmental damage and pollution, taking 

into account the physical environment and the social environment; (7) Development carried out 

based on human values and taking into account the morals or values adopted in society; and (8) 

Development that is implemented must have fundamental and ideal characteristics as well as short 

and long term 20.

Character Education Model that reflects the SDGs 

The character can be considered as the values of human behavior related to God Almighty, oneself, 

fellow humans, the environment, and nationality, which are manifested in thoughts, attitudes, 

feelings, words, and actions based on religious norms, laws, behavior, culture, customs, and 

aesthetics. According to Ryan and Bohlin, character education contains three main elements, 

namely knowing what is good (knowing what is good), loving-kindness (loving good), and doing 

good (doing good). Character education is a mission that is similar to moral education or character 

education, not only teaching what is right and wrong to children, but more than that character 

education instills habits (habituation) of goodness that students understand to be able to feel and 

want to do good 21. 

Concerning morals - read human values - there is a close relationship with religion 22. In everyday 

life, often, the strongest motivation to act is because of religion23. For example, premarital sexual 

behavior should be avoided because religious reasons prohibit it. On the other hand, showing a 

smile to a friend is also a behavior recommended by religion. 

Islam is a religion sent through the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam as a complement to morals. 

The term morality is better known in Islam than morals. However, according to Halstead 24, both 

contain teachings about decency25. Internal morals 26 are good customs, politeness; courtesy; 

civility. 

Islamic education 27 is a process carried out to create complete human beings, have faith and 

devotion to God, and are able to realize their existence as the caliph of Allah on earth, which is 

based on the teachings of Al-Quran and Sunnah 28. This means that Islamic education is never 

separated from its foundation, namely the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah. Therefore, in the al-Quran, there 

are values that refer to Islamic education. In Nugroho and Mustaidah29, this value consists of three 

pillars, namely i'tiqodiyah, khuluqiyah value, and amaliyah value 30. 

Khuluqiyah values are teachings about good things and bad things, which concern human behavior 

and actions. The value of amaliyah is related to education on daily behavior, both related to religious 

education and muamalah education. The i'tiqodiyah value is a value related to faith education such

as believing in Allah, Angels, the Book, the Last Day Apostle, and destiny, aiming to organize 

individual beliefs 31. 

As already mentioned, that the character and morals contain teachings about morality 32. These 

teachings are expected to clean up despicable behavior and adorn oneself with praiseworthy 

behavior. Therefore, khuluqiyah values must contain good morals such as helping menology, 

compassion, gratitude, courtesy, forgiveness, discipline, keeping promises, honesty, responsibility, 

and others. In Islamic education, these morals are included in the akhlakul karimah part. The 

discussion of akhlakul karimah is essential because it responds to deviations in human behavior 

(immoral acts), which will undermine humans' dignity. Of course, this is very far from the 

expectations of Islamic education. 

As stated in Law no. 20 of 2003, National Education Objectives is aimed at uplifting human 

dignity. The essence of education is actually developing a better life, coloring, and becoming a 

moral and ethical foundation or foundation in empowering a nation's identity. Education like this 

will enhance human dignity 33. The essence of the SDGs in education is to ensure the quality of 

education that is inclusive and equitable and provides lifelong learning opportunities for everyone 

(SDG-Education 2030 Steering Committee n.d.). In achieving this, among others, we need an 

educational model that is accessible to all circles and lasts a lifetime. The author focuses on the 

educational model in question is a model that reflects the principles of the SDGs and answers the 

fundamental challenges of the SDGs in education. 

Education that reflects the SDGs is education that adapts to the characteristics of the SDGs 

themselves. According to the authors, the culture-based character education model can reflect the 

characteristics of the SDGs. There are at least three reasons, namely: 

1. Culture is a social system that develops in society. In practice, it is carried out by various 

parties evenly without distinguishing any social status 34. 

2. Culture is a manifestation of education that lasts a lifetime in the long term. Culture will 

not die and is always passed on from one generation to the next 35. 

3. Culture departs from society's values, especially those related to morals and humanity 36. 

 

Religious Culture-Based Education Model in responding to the challenges of Sustainable 

Development goals 

Education for sustainable development is an idea that comes from environmental education 37. 

Environmental education is a process of introducing values and concepts with the aim of building 

the skills and attitudes needed to understand and appreciate the relationships between culture and

the biophysical environment. In its application, environmental education also practices behavioral 

practices in making decisions about issues relating to environmental quality. 

Environmental quality is part of the responsibility of humanity. As in Sadr38, humanity's big 

position is to take responsibility for all major and minor works, open and hidden activities. Humans 

and nature are inseparably linked. Humans are greatly influenced by the surrounding environment, 

such as the physical environment and other life. All forms of human action, good or bad, will be 

rewarded/punished by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. This belief provides an impetus for someone to 

guard against actions that reduce human dignity and increase actions that can prosper human life. 

One form of effort in environmental preservation that reflects religious culture is TSP (Tahan dari 

buang sampah sembarangan, Simpan sampah pada tempatnya, Pungut sampah insya Allah sedekah). This 

culture can be applied in monthly cleaning activities. This activity is carried out together with 

residents by walking around the neighborhood, then picking up trash when it is found. The 

residents were taught when they found trash on the street. Then the trash was picked up and then 

thrown into the trash. In addition, there is a culture of BEBAS KOMIBA, which stands for BE 

(Berantakan-Rapihkan), BAS (Basah-Keringkan), KO (Kotor-Bersihkan), MI (Miring ex. Barang-Luruskan), 

BA (Bahaya-Amankan). This culture can be applied in schools. Especially during Clean Friday 

activities, students are used to practicing this culture. The hope is that students can practice this 

culture in their neighborhood, at least in their own families. In addition, there is also a basic culture 

that encourages change in the environment, namely 3M: (Mulai dari diri sendiri; Mulai dari hal yang 

kecil; Mulai saat ini). This culture is combined with the 5K culture (Kerja cerdas, Kerja tuntas, Kerja 

mawas, Kerja ikhlas). The implementation of these two cultures' application is the holding of the 

"Muslim Parade Week". This activity is also a form of humanitarian responsibility on a broader 

(large) scale. Students organize this activity as a medium for preaching and a form of self-existence 

based on the implementation of worship to God and attention to the spirit of community service 

and the implementation of Islamic values obtained during educational programs in schools 

(Abdullah and Syahri 2018). 

Efforts to provide quality education are also important in the goal of sustainable development. As 

stated in the Law, quality education is the important point that, as explained above, promotes 

human dignity. The implementation of SDGs in the education process should know the goal of 

education is Human Excellence. Students are not only smart but also have good qualities. In 

achieving this, the character learning method is very appropriate for every student. This method 

consists of three stages that must be passed and completed 39: 

a. Knowing Morals. The objectives are: students are able to distinguish noble moral values 

and moral characters; understand logically and rationally (not doctrinal or dogmatic) the 

importance of moral values; Students recognize the figure of the Prophet Muhammad as 

an exemplary figure through his words and behavior. 

b. Loving Moral. Intended to foster a sense of love and take noble moral values. The teacher's 

goal for students is the emotional dimension, heart, soul, not reason or logic. The teacher 

touches the students' emotions that foster awareness, desires, and high needs.

CONCLUSION 

Indonesia is one of 194 “civil society” countries that participated in the UN (United Nations) 

session on September 25-27, 2015 in New York-United States of America, which agreed to the 

Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. SDGs was formed with the aim of resolving all the 

problems that the nation is currently facing or will face in a country, including in the field of 

education. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the field of education, namely "Good 

quality education" with the substance of "Ensuring equitable quality education and increasing 

learning opportunities for all people, ensuring inclusive and equitable education and encouraging 

lifelong learning opportunities for all people". As in the mandate of Law No. 20 of 2003 that 

education is shown to shape the character and civilization of a nation with dignity, equitable 

education is carried out to achieve this. 

Religious Culture-Based Education Model can be an alternative education that supports the 

achievement of SDGs in education. This is because the model contains religious values - Islamic 

education - which can be applied in any group regardless of social status. In addition, this model 

is carried out continuously throughout life and can be passed on from one generation to the next. 

There are at least five religious cultures that can be applied to form a dignified national character 

and civilization, namely; (1) TSP (Tahan dari buang sampah sembarangan, Simpan sampah pada tempatnya, 

Pungut sampah insya Allah sedekah); (2) BEBASKOMIBA (BE-berantakan-rapikan; BAS-basah-

keringkan; KO-kotor-bersihkan; MI- miring-luruskan; BA-bahaya-amankan); (3) 3M (Mulai dari diri sendiri; 

Mulai dari hal yang kecil; Mulai saat ini); (4) 5K (Kerja keras; Kerja cerdas; Kerja mawas; Kerja tuntas; Kerka 

ikhlas); and (5) 7B (Beribadah dengan baik, benar, dan istiqomah; Berakhlak baik; Belajar tekun tiada henti; 

Bekerja keras, cerdas, dan ikhlas; Bersahaja dalam hidup; Bantu sesama; Bersihkan hati selalu).
