Abstract

The economic crisis has had a significant impact on various sectors of life, including education. One of the problems that emerged was the drastic increase in dropout rates among children from underprivileged families. The economic impact leads to the inability of families to fulfil basic needs, including the cost of their children's education. As a result, many students have to leave school to help the family economy or because parents lose their jobs and income. To address this problem, a comprehensive solution involving various parties is needed. Financial support in the form of education subsidies can help ease the burden of school fees. In addition, improving the quality and access to better education facilities will provide fairer learning opportunities for all students. The implementation of technology in education is also an important step to ensure flexible access to learning, especially for those who are physically challenged to attend school. Collaboration between the government, educational institutions, NGOs and communities is crucial in creating an enabling environment for children to continue their education amidst the economic crisis. With concerted efforts, it is hoped that the dropout rate can be reduced and children can continue to get proper educational opportunities.

Abstract

The development of critical thinking skills among elementary school students plays an important role in preparing the younger generation to face the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution era. The method used is a literature study on this theme. The results of the study revealed that Merdeka Belajar Curriculum provides ample space to improve students' critical thinking skills through flexible learning, focusing on students, and closely related to context. Effective strategies include project-based learning, collaborative problem solving, and technology integration in the learning process. However, the research also identified challenges such as the need for intense enrichment of teacher competencies and adaptation of assessment methods to appropriately measure critical thinking skills. In conclusion, Merdeka Belajar Curriculum has great potential to improve the critical thinking skills of primary school students, but this achievement is highly dependent on careful implementation along with comprehensive support from all education stakeholders. Recommendations for further studies include long-term studies on the long-term impact of this curriculum on the development of students' critical thinking skills and the exploration of new assessment models that are in line with the objectives of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum.
