This study explores the efforts to integrate local culture and wisdom into primary education in Indonesia and its impact on students' experiences and learning outcomes. Through a literature review, the study finds that culture-based teaching significantly enhances students' motivation, engagement, and academic achievement. Effective teaching strategies, such as project-based learning and community involvement, have been shown to strengthen students’ understanding of their cultural heritage. However, this research also identifies challenges faced in implementing cultural education, including resource limitations and insufficient teacher training. By understanding stakeholder perceptions and formulating recommendations for future practice, this study contributes to the development of a more inclusive and culturally responsive educational framework. It is expected that the findings of this research will enrich students' learning experiences and reinforce cultural identity.
