Abstract

The Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) program represents Indonesia's strategic effort to strengthen human capital by addressing malnutrition among school-aged. However, evidence suggests that school feeding alone is insufficient without structured nutrition education to promote sustained behavioral change. The present study examines opportunities and feasibility for embedding nutrition education within MBG implementation. Two-stage design was performed, including curriculum content reviews and qualitative case study design. A systematic curriculum content analysis was conducted across the school-based curriculum (KTSP) (2006), K-13 curriculum (2013 – 2017), and the Merdeka curriculum (2022 - present), using predefined nutrition competencies and behavioral domains as analytical frameworks. Purposive in-depth interviews were undertaken with teachers and students (n=3). Data were analyzed thematically and subsequently mapped using a SWOT framework to assess readiness and implementation constraints. Results indicate that nutrition content remains fragmented, discipline-bound, and predominantly theory-oriented in KTSP and K-13, with limited emphasis on practical skills, local food systems, or behavioral reinforcement. The Merdeka curriculum provides structural flexibility for interdisciplinary and project-based integration; however, implementation is highly dependent on teacher competence, pedagogical resources, intersectoral coordination, and school-level innovation capacity.
