Road To Prototype Curiculum

Coinciding with the commemoration of Teacher's Day on November 25, 2021 in Indonesia, the 
Ministry of Education and Culture, Mr. Anwar Nadiem Makariem, in his remarks at the peak of the commemoration in Jakarta, announced a new curriculum for education in Indonesia, called the prototype curriculum.

Before developing a new curriculum, the Ministry of Education and Culture issued a prototype curriculum. The prototype curriculum is provided as an additional option for education units to carry out learning restoration in 2022-2024.

The national curriculum policy will be reviewed in 2024 based on evaluations during the learning recovery period.

The prototype curriculum encourages learning according to students' abilities, and provides more space for character development and basic competencies. The prototype curriculum has several main characteristics that support learning recovery:

Soft skills and character development (noble morals, mutual cooperation, diversity, independence, critical reasoning, creativity) gets a special portion through project-based learning.

Focus on essential material so that there is sufficient time for in-depth study of basic competencies such as literacy and numeracy.

Flexibility for teachers to carry out learning according to students' abilities (teach at the right level) and make adjustments to the local context and content.
