Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the Merdeka Curriculum policy through a literature review of its theoretical foundations and implementation practices in educational institutions. The Merdeka Curriculum represents an educational reform effort that promotes flexible, character-based, and student-centered learning approaches. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this research analyzes scientific publications from 2020 to 2024. The findings reveal that the curriculum is grounded in strong philosophical underpinnings, particularly the ideas of Ki Hadjar Dewantara, humanistic education, and constructivist pedagogy. Despite its robust conceptual basis, implementation faces several challenges, including teacher readiness, leadership capacity, infrastructure limitations, and regional disparities. Some schools have successfully adopted differentiated instruction and character-building projects, especially when supported by transformative leadership and active teacher learning communities. However, the implementation gap remains significant, particularly in underdeveloped and remote areas. This study recommends strengthening context-based training, establishing responsive evaluation mechanisms, and fostering collaboration among schools, parents, and local communities. In conclusion, the success of the Merdeka Curriculum depends on adaptive policy support, full engagement of the educational ecosystem, and a strong commitment to equity in access to quality education.

Abstract

Educational inequality in Indonesia’s frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged (3T) regions remains a major challenge, particularly in Papua where education development indicators lag behind the national average. To address this issue, the government introduced the Performance-Based School Operational Assistance (BOS Kinerja) program as an incentive for schools to improve quality through better management and academic outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of BOS Kinerja in senior high schools (SMA) in Papua and to identify its impacts, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews with principals, teachers, and school committees, complemented by observations and document analysis in four recipient schools located in Jayapura and Mimika Regencies. The findings indicate that BOS Kinerja supports teacher professional development, instructional innovation, and student engagement, particularly in schools with strong leadership and participatory governance. Nevertheless, significant obstacles remain, including limited human resources, delayed fund disbursement, geographical constraints, and performance indicators that are not fully context-sensitive. Strengthening digital financial management, enhancing school leadership capacity, and fostering community participation and cross-sector partnerships are identified as key strategies for ensuring more effective and sustainable implementation of BOS Kinerja in Papua.
