Teachers, principals, foundations, and the whole school staff not involved in character education. Parents are not included and parents even teach the other values. The environmental community and the leadership of the society who live contrary to the values of the characters accentuated. For example, taught harmony and fraternity in the school, but the community leaders fought and killed each other.
