Emancipated Curriculum
The government plans to officially adopt the Emancipated Curriculum as the national curriculum starting from the 2024/2025 academic year. The implications of curriculum change affect policies on teacher workload and linearity, necessitating adjustments to ensure all policies support the implementation of KM. Therefore, the strategy for implementing KM needs to be prepared in stages, considering the context, the readiness of educational units, and grounded in data-based studies and feedback, so that the real benefits can be felt by all Indonesian children, both in educational units under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbud) and the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag).
