At this stage, children experience rapid cognitive and emotional development, so that instilling moral values such as honesty, responsibility, and empathy become the main foundation for forming individuals with integrity. Implementation of character education can be done with various approaches: integration of values in the curriculum, extracurricular activities, project-based learning, role models from teachers, and collaboration with parents and the community. Effective character education contributes to positive student behavior, good emotional management, and increased academic achievement.
