3 Golden Generation in Indonesia
“Golden generation” have competence, character, lifestyle, religious values and great
spirit. They should have good attitude, mindset, concept and superior civilization with
insight that be smart, broad, deep, productive, creative, innovative, and futuristic to
foster responsibility and real contribution in realizing a healthy, peaceful, dignified
and sustainable environment and life (Anonim 2017; Lasmawan 2017).
Indonesia demographic bonus occurs between 2012 and 2035. Based on Central
Bureau of Statistics 2011, the number of children aged 0–9 years reaches 45.93
million, while children aged 10–19 years amounts to 43.55 million people. These
are the 2045 golden generation who must receive excellent education. The early
childhood group of 0–9 years is the golden age of a child, so it becomes a very
important period in the physical and mental development of a human being (Anonim
2017; Lasmawan 2017).
Students of golden age in Japan are more taught ethics, morals, culture, independence, discipline, responsibility, that is in line with the students’ development
without any excessive burden of reading, writing and mathematics lessons. There is
no test from first to third grade, as the goal of education is to implement the concept
and character building. Finland was put in the first rank in the World Global Education because the education system requires short school hour and no homework
with the meaning in every learning process. This is very different from the current
Indonesian educational orientation that pursues grade only, ignoring the meaning of
education itself (Agus 2017, 2018).
According to Kanter (1997), future generations will be dominated by cosmopolitan thinking (Agus 2017). They need to have 4C, namely: concept, competence,
connection, and confidence to give inspiration, initiation, and motivation. Stanley
(1997) points out that out of 100 factors that affect a person’s success, IQ is only
ranked 21st, attendance at a favorite school is 23rd, and graduating as best in class
is just the 30th factor. He further concluded that the first 10 main factors are: honest, disciplined, skilled, family support, hard work, loving work, leadership, passion
and competitive personality, life management, and selling skills ideas and products
(Agus 2016a, b, 2017, 2018).
