Four Pilars to each perfect human being (al-insan al-kamil)

Education is very important need in human life. To achieve these educational, human beings should effort to do the learning in order to become perfect human beings. Therefore, UNESCO (United States of Educational Scientical and Cultural Organization) published four pillars of education that can be the basis of human education, namely:

1. Learning to know, the process of seeking knowledge as widely as possible with the goal of human wholeness in mind, conscience, and spiritual. I think is very appropriate with the existing reality of human need that has a great sense of curiosity and to achieve it the human have to learn. Especially in the current era of globalization, information, knowledge and technology are continues to grow, then we must learn to to be intellectually competent, able to fulfill our spiritual needs as well as important things about life in nature. Learning to learn in the process is not only knowing what is beneficial but also knowing what is not useful for life.

2. Learning to do, namely a broad knowledge must be applied for can be used as an action and good works. Because the theory without application is useless. So learn not only teaches us to know but how we are skilled to do or doing something that produces something meaningful to life.

3. Learning to be, to learn to be independent and responsible for everything that is based on the knowledge and skills we have. This relates to what he aspired to a person in this life.

4. Learning to live together, to learn to understand and appreciate others. This is consistent with human nature as social beings who can not live alone and need cooperation with other people. So anything that we have learned we must apply our environment are.

So the congclution is the things that has become a pillar of education that has been publised by UNESCO has been able to be perfect human being (al-insan al-kamil). One of the example is the Indonesian Government through the Dept. / Ministry of National education RI has issued Decree No. Related 045/U/2002 correlated with competantion of elements that must be developed in all strata of education that refers to the meaning of UNESCO's four pillars of education. But what we see today is less application of the theories that have been mentioned above.
