Abstract

This article examines the pivotal role of education policy in enhancing students' reading (literacy) and numeracy skills in the new era of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia. Through a comprehensive review of various studies and educational literature, this article explores how current policies support schools and teachers in fostering these foundational skills among students. It identifies key challenges in policy implementation that may hinder its overall effectiveness. The findings suggest that effective education policy should grant schools the flexibility to tailor learning approaches to student needs while providing adequate support for teachers to develop engaging and developmentally appropriate literacy and numeracy programs. The article proposes several policy recommendations, including increased investment in teacher training, development of localized learning materials, and the integration of continuous assessment tools to monitor student progress. Furthermore, this study addresses specific research questions: (1) How do current education policies influence the development of literacy and numeracy in primary and secondary schools? (2) What are the main barriers faced by educators in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum effectively? and (3) What policy adjustments are needed to better align national education goals with classroom practices? This article aims to offer a clearer understanding of how education policies can contribute to shaping a more literate and numerate generation of Indonesian students.

Abstract

This study aims to compare education policies implemented in Singapore and Indonesia, with a focus on their alignment with global standards for quality education. Using a literature review methodology, the study explores how government policies, educational equity, infrastructure development, and technology integration influence the educational frameworks in both countries. The study specifically highlights the implementation of policies and outcomes in each country. The analysis shows that Singapore’s education system is better organized, more effective, and more aligned with international best practices. This is largely due to significant investment in education reform, on going teacher development, and strong government support. On the other hand, Indonesia’s education system faces challenges such as uneven policy implementation, inadequate infrastructure, and significant gaps in the quality of education between urban and rural areas. Despite these challenges, Indonesia has made significant progress in improving access to education and promoting inclusiveness, especially in remote and less developed areas. This study provides important insights for policy makers seeking to improve education systems in their respective countries. By comparing policy implementation and outcomes, this study offers practical recommendations for advancing education programs in Indonesia, with an emphasis on equity and achieving higher international standards. The findings also emphasize the crucial role of government support and resource allocation in ensuring the success of education reforms.
