<![CDATA[This study analyzes the urgency and strategy of education policy transformation as a crucial foundation for sustainable national development in the era of globalization. With the increasingly blurred geographical boundaries and the acceleration of technology brought by the Industrial Revolution 4.0, the quality of human resources (HR) has become the main determinant of national competitiveness. The existing education system, which is often still oriented towards knowledge transfer, faces significant challenges in preparing graduates with 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, complex problem solving, and digital literacy. Through a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, this study identifies that education transformation must include curriculum restructuring towards holistic competencies, improving the quality and welfare of teachers, integrating digital technology into the learning process, and strengthening relevance to the needs of industry and the global job market. Furthermore, this transformation also emphasizes the importance of internalizing the values of nationalism and tolerance as a moral fortress and social cohesion amidst biased information flows and potential polarization. In conclusion, education policy transformation is no longer an option, but a strategic mandate to ensure that Indonesia has a solid development foundation and HR that is able to compete on the global stage. The comprehensive implementation of this transformation will enable Indonesia to transform the demographic bonus into a sustainable productive force, while maintaining the identity and unity of the nation amidst the dynamics of globalization.]]>
