Abstract


Character education rooted in the values of local wisdom is an important strategy in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 concerning quality education. In this context, schools play a strategic role not only as educational institutions but also as agents for preserving local values that are relevant in building students' character resilience. This study aims to describe school strategies in fostering character resilience based on the values of local wisdom to support the achievement of quality and sustainable education. An ethnopedagogical approach was employed in this research through observations and in-depth interviews with vice principals in charge of curriculum from six schools in different regions. The data were thematically analyzed to examine school practices related to character strengthening and the transmission of local wisdom values. The findings reveal that schools implement strategies based on positive habituation, collaboration with communities, and the integration of local wisdom values into both curricular and extracurricular activities. Practices include the use of local languages, preservation of traditional games, reinforcement of social ethics, and religious-based flagship programs, all of which contribute to shaping students' character in responding to social and technological changes. This study affirms that the integration of local wisdom values in character education directly contributes to the achievement of quality and sustainable education within the SDGs framework.
