Therefore, this is where the role of parents, teachers, and the surrounding environment is
very important in providing education, coaching and guidance to adolescents, because
education is not only the responsibility of parents, but also teachers, the community, as well as

Chapter I of the Law on the National Education System states that, "Education is a
conscious and planned effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning process so that
students have noble character and skills needed by themselves, society, nation and state to
actively develop their potential to have spiritual (religious) strength, personality control,

making the Qur'an as a way of life. So that they can make them useful for the family, the
environment and the nation and state.
