Summary
Indonesia is a multicultural country and one of the largest countries in the world that has more than 17,000 islands and has more than 730 languages and society cultures (Tumonggor, et al, 2013; Hasanah, et al, 2019). As a multicultural developing country, Indonesia meets a major problem in the education field, namely the unequal quality of education between regions (Idrus, 2012). While some schools can build good quality education (Demie & Mclean, 2016), another problem faces low academic achievement or poor student behavior (Werang, 2018). In this problem, the Indonesian government has taken several policy steps to address the problem of inter-regional education in Indonesia. The character development policy is one of the policies launched by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture as an effort to solve education problems that occur in Indonesia (Nova, 2017). One of the ways to implement character education in schools is to instill local ethical and cultural values to all students (Kamaruddin, 2012; Agboola & Tsai, 2012), in the form of developing school culture in the development of local culture-based culture (Meinarno, et al , 2011; Pesurnay, 2018)
