Abstract

The role of education is very vital to form human beings who are intellectually intelligent and characterized. The current character condition of the Indonesian generation is still a self-fear for this nation for the sake of realizing the desired Golden Generation. The easiest character building is when children are still in elementary school, called the Golden Age, in this period children are more easily formed. Strengthening Character Education in Elementary Schools is very important as the foundation for the cultivation of the nation's character, so that when the time of 100 years of Indonesian independence comes, the generation of gold aspired by the State of Indonesia will be born as expected, the devoted, nationalist Golden Generation, strong, independent, and has a competitive advantage globally. In order to prepare the Golden Generation of 2045, the government strengthens the character of the young generation through Strengthening Character Education. Strengthening Character Education can be done through three approaches, namely class-based, school-based, and community-based.
