The national curriculum will be reviewed in 2024, Head of the Educational Standards, Curriculum, and Assessment Agency of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) Anindito Aditomo has said.
“The national curriculum policy will be reviewed in 2024 based on evaluations during the learning recovery period,” he said during a working meeting with Commission X of the House of Representatives (DPR), which was accessed online from here on Wednesday.
According to Aditomo, before the pandemic, schools in Indonesia implemented the 2013 Curriculum. Then, from 2020 to 2021 amid the pandemic, schools implemented either the 2013 Curriculum or the Emergency Curriculum.
Meanwhile, in 2021–2022, schools can choose to implement the 2013 Curriculum or the Emergency Curriculum, while schools that are part of the Sekolah Penggerak (Activator Schools) and Center of Excellence Vocational High Schools programs will implement the Prototype Curriculum, he explained.
During the learning recovery period from 2022 to 2024, all schools will have a choice between the 2013 Curriculum, the Emergency Curriculum, and the Prototype Curriculum, he informed.
“In 2024, the national curriculum policy will be determined based on the evaluation of the curriculum implemented during the learning recovery period,” he said.
Aditomo affirmed that the ministry will continue to monitor the implementation of the Prototype Curriculum.
In addition, it will also provide training and guidance for teachers and school principals through programs such as Guru Penggerak (Activator Teachers), Sekolah Penggerak (Activator Schools), and Center of Excellence Vocational High Schools, he added.
“It is estimated that in 2024, the ecosystem would have been achieved: there will be many teachers, principals, school administrators who will understand the new learning philosophy and become partners for other schools,” he said.
The essence of education is not just content but what students can achieve through learning, he remarked.
