<![CDATA[Character education plays an important role in shaping students' personalities, including moral, ethical, and social values. The Merdeka Curriculum, which has been implemented since 2022, provides opportunities for the integration of character education into learning in elementary schools. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of character education in the Merdeka Curriculum, as well as the challenges faced by teachers in implementing character values in daily learning.
