Talking about education is talking about how to shape human character as desired. while the character will be formed by various factors, including the environment. People have different characters, because they grow in different environments. Thus the role of the environment is very large in shaping one's behavior.

The environment must be an important factor in shaping the personality of children or students studying at school or campus. School or campus should not be left dirty and neglected.
The educational environment, in addition to having to be clean, neat, should also maintain its beauty. Islam teaches about cleanliness, neatness and beauty. Therefore schools or campuses should not display slums.
Educational institutions, both informal, non-formal and formal, are places for transfer of knowledge and culture. Through educational practice, students are invited to understand how history or cultural experience can be transformed in life
that they will experience and prepare them to face the challenges and demands within them. Thus, the meaning of knowledge and culture is often forced to be combined because of the influence of the times on knowledge if transformed.
