iaisyaichona.ac.id – One of the important issues in character development is the lack of integration of moral and ethical values into the formal education system. The current curriculum tends to focus on academic aspects, so the formation of students’ personality and character is often neglected. In fact, strong characters such as honesty, responsibility and empathy are needed to form a generation that is able to face the challenges of the times, including global issues such as environmental crises and social injustice. Without a comprehensive and structured educational approach, character values are difficult to instill consistently in students.
On the other hand, sustainable practices in education still face various obstacles, especially in terms of understanding the concept and implementation. Education for sustainable development is not only about environmental conservation, but also includes social, economic and cultural awareness. Unfortunately, many educational institutions have yet to make sustainability a core part of the learning process. Lack of teacher training, limited resources, and the absence of national standards that encourage the integration of sustainability values are the main challenges in this regard.
Based on the thoughts, Puncak Darussalam Islamic Boarding School, Potoan Daja, Pamekasan held the Puncak Darussalam Global Summit (PDGS) 1st International Summit on Character Education and Leadership with the theme “Character Education and Sustainability: Developing Leaders for a Better Future” on Saturday, May 3, 2025.
The summit brought together academics, community members, and students in a model of offline and online sessions. Participating in fulfilling the invitation to the offline session in this activity were delegates from the Institut Agama Islam Syaichona Mohammad Cholil (INSYA) Bangkalan, namely M. Rofi’i, M.Pd, Amir Hamzah, M.Pd, and Munali, M.H.
KH. Abdul Hannan Tibyan as the leader of Puncak Darussalam Islamic Boarding School in his speech said that this international event was the first event held so that for all things that were less pleasing we apologized.
“That Puncak Darussalam wants to have a commitment that is not raised by personal perceptions but is a recommendation from professors around the world where according to what we know that the world’s problems are moral problems (morals). Therefore, we are determined based on our belief that the morals of the prophet Muhammad are noble and unequaled morals so that his morals are praised in the Qur’an. His morals do not need to be studied anymore, but the process of shaping these morals must be done and made as a joint commitment to be instilled in our students,” he said.
