The curriculum serves as a guideline for organizing the learning process to achieve national education objectives. This study aims to explore the understanding of the Independent Curriculum concept, its implementation process, the challenges faced, and the solutions applied during its execution. Data collection was carried out using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, involving the analysis of articles and books related to issues in the implementation of the Independent Curriculum. The selected articles met specific criteria for inclusion in the analysis. The review findings reveal several challenges in implementing the Independent Curriculum, notably that teachers, who play a crucial role in its success, often struggle to grasp appropriate and relevant learning strategies aligned with the curriculum. Additionally, inadequate facilities and infrastructure contribute to less than optimal outcomes. To address these issues, collaboration is essential among various parties, starting with school principals who guide teachers in understanding and applying the curriculum, as well as supporting the enhancement of teacher competencies. Furthermore, the involvement of external stakeholders also serves as a vital driving force to ensure the successful achievement of the Independent Curriculum’s goals.
