E/CN.4/1995/91/Add.1 page 80 special attention should be paid the world over to what school curricula impart about religious freedom or tolerance particularly. The Special Rapporteur is deeply convinced that lasting progress with regard to tolerance and non-discrimination in the matter of religion or belief could be achieved first and foremost through the school.’ The Government of the Republic of Indonesia is equally supportive of the proposed survey on the possible formulation of school curricula and international school strategy aimed at combating religious intolerance. In this connection, the positive experiences of all States in dealing with the issue may also be utilized as important contributions. The experience of Indonesia in promoting harmony and religious tolerance as social values is worth sharing. Measures to sensitize and promote such values are first and foremost focused on children and the younger generation, widely recognized as future defenders and guardians of those values. Aside from formal educational institutions, others such as parents, informal leaders, self-help social organizations and traditional religious boarding schools play an important role in undertaking such measures. In conclusion, while the spirit of religious tolerance and its furtherance and the full enjoyment of freedom of religion and belief are enshrined in the State philosophy and the 1945 Constitution, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia never fails to take necessary and effective measures geared towards achieving the promotion and protection of the freedom of religion and belief and guaranteeing religious tolerance."
