Webinar “Implications of Presidential Decree No. 2 the Year 2022 to Learning History”

The Indonesian History Education Study Program Association (P3SI) asked the government to revise the Presidential Decree (Keppres) No. 2 of 2022 concerning State Sovereignty Enforcement Day. Because the Presidential Decree is considered not to follow data and historical facts related to the general attack on March 1, 1949. “Although the Presidential Decree is not a histographic work, the contents of the Presidential Decree refer to historical events. So it must follow the data and historical facts of the General Attack March 1, 1949, “said P3SI Chairman Abdul Syukur in the Webinar Implications of Presidential Decree No. 2 of 2022 on history learning, Tuesday (3/22). According to Abdul, the Presidential Decree has caused a polemic in public.

Historians, historical teachers, to the general public opposed the contents of the Presidential Decree. They said that the general attack on March 1, 1949, in the Capital of Yogyakarta was pursued by President Soekarno and Vice President/ Prime Minister Moh. Hatta.

Hatta as mentioned in the Presidential Decree, “he added. Based on data and facts, he continued, in the incident, Sukarno and Moh. Hatta is in Dutch detention in Sumatra. So it is possible that the two proclaimers initiated the attack. “In our opinion, the government’s willingness to recognize and improve this error is essential. Not only ended the polemic but also for learning history in the future, “said the history lecturer of the Jakarta State University.

The existence of the Presidential Decree with historical data and facts is very detrimental to historical education in the future. It can also damage the collective memory of the Indonesian people against general attacks as a significant event in the history of the Indonesian people. Dean of Fis-H Makassar Negari University (UNM) Prof. Jumadi stressed the importance of history for the journey of the Indonesian people going forward. In particular, for education, history must be explained as it is. “History is a fact; history is an experience that, of course, we must convey to the generation as it is,” he said. Learning from history will provide many benefits, and then history must be based on data and facts. A mistake in writing history will also have a significant implication in the life of the nation in the future. “This is very important for us history teachers and also students and the community for the direction of learning our history in the future,” he said.
