Abstract

The paper entitled "The Challenge of Returning Political Parties to Its Function: As a Means of Political Education for the People" aims to find out what challenges are faced when it will make political parties a means of political education for the community. In Article 11 paragraph 1 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2008 stated that one of the functions of political parties is to carry out political education for members and the wider community to become Indonesian citizens who are aware of their rights and obligations in the life of society, nation, and patriotic. This is different from the reality in Indonesia today because of frequent internal and external party conflicts and narrow loyalties to the party rather than national interests so that the function to educate the public in political life is minimal. For this reason, participation is needed, not only from the management, members, and sympathizers of political parties but from all levels of Indonesian society so that the existing political parties can carry out their functions properly so that Indonesia can mature in politics.
