Correlation Between Multiculturalism and Religious Moderation for Education for Sustainable Development in the 21st Century

Abstract

Education is one of the weapons to change the world. Through education one's fate can change. Rising from poverty and distress is one of the goals of education. Given the importance of education for everyone, it is necessary to hold an equal distribution of education. The goal is that everyone from any circle has the same right to education. This is supported by the holding of article 28C paragraph 1 to support the right to education for all Indonesian citizens. However, the problem is, in Indonesia, currently equal distribution of education is still being pursued. It's not just a matter of access, or facilities but how to form a mindset to continue to grow. From here, the concept of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was born. The definition of ESD itself is education that fully supports changes in knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to increase the possibilities for the Indonesian people in a sustainable and fair life for all. When in reality Indonesia is full of diversity in differences, or often known as multicultural. Not only about culture, but also about religion. This is because the two cannot be separated and continue to blend in society. Therefore, the concept of religious moderation is needed to maintain the integrity of Indonesia. This research is a qualitative type using the library research method.  Meanwhile, the approach used is a social approach. The results will be shown how the relationship between multiculturalism and religious moderation can support Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), especially in the 21st century.
