Abstract
Education is a medium to bring people towards enlightenment. Education is meant to foster students or young people to be able to embrace life with maturity in faith, personal resilience, and sensitivity to social situations, especially changes that happen today. The spirit of national democracy in Indonesia can be realised through values education in schools so that these become material for a character building process. Values internalised in the education comprise of respect, care, acceptance, solidarity, appreciation, and sensitivity to the suffering of others. In being compassionate to the suffering others, students are called to come out of their comfort zones and to get involved with people who suffer and are in need, especially those who are victims of injustice due to the system in the society. The cultivation of human compassion can be carried on by promoting fraternity, that is, through the real encounters with people of different backgrounds, religions, races, and ethnicities. Building human fraternity in education asks that students are fostered to exercise dialogue of life and are given opportunities to encounter others in living communication. Through the real encounters, they may sense the actual changes in the social reality so that education is not limited to scientific achievements, but touches their affective and psychomotor aspects as well.

Summary
Dokumen Persaudaraan Manusia yang ditandatangani Paus Fransiskus dan Imam Besar Ahmad Al-Tayyeb pada 2019 ini berusaha melihat keterkaitan manusia yang satu dengan manusia yang lain. Kepekaan pada situasi dunia dapat diwujudkan lewat membangun persaudaraan manusia, yaitu persaudaraan yang dilandasi oleh bela-rasa (compassion). Krisis dunia modern dalam dokumen Persaudaraan Manusia tersebut bukanlah sebuah situasi yang harus ditangisi dan disesali tanpa harapan, melainkan sebuah pesan inspiratif bagi dunia untuk bergandengan tangan membangun dunia lewat persaudaraan manusia. Persaudaraan manusia tidak dilakukan sekadar dengan pengakuan verbal akan eksistensi manusia yang lain, melainkan bergerak bersama membangun dunia lewat kepekaan akan situasi dunia, khususnya krisis dunia modern saat ini, termasuk di Indonesia. Pendidikan dapat dimaknai sebagai sebuah proses pembelajaran untuk terjadinya perubahan dan pertumbuhan dalam upaya mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa.[12] Di dalam dokumen tersebut dikatakan bahwa pendidikan merupakan wadah yang paling strategis dalam mewujudkan persaudaraan di tengah masyarakat yang tidak sekadar mengetahui, melainkan tergerak hati dan budinya untuk mengusahakan segala sesuatu yang baik, benar, dan indah. Persaudaraan manusia dapat menjadi sebuah agenda bersama dalam mendidik generasi baru untuk membawa kebaikan serta kedamaian bagi orang lain, dan di mana-mana menjadi pembela hak-hak mereka yang lemah dan tertindas.[13]
