The role of religious education policy in shaping character and promoting tolerant values among students of the Ristek Nusantara Jaya community learning center

Abstract

Religious education plays a crucial role in instilling tolerance and building students' character. This study uses a qualitative approach to investigate how religious education policies shape character and promote tolerance at the Ristek Nusantara Jaya Community Learning Center (PKBM). Data collection methods used in this study included observation, document analysis, and interviews. The results indicate that moral and spiritual values ​​improved when religious education policies were incorporated into the PKBM Ristek Nusantara Jaya curriculum. These findings also support the theory that inclusive religious education can be an effective tool for promoting tolerance and social balance.
