The Indonesian government implemented the learner-centered Merdeka Curriculum to overhaul the country's educational system. This curriculum is being used at MI Hijriyah II Palembang, a well-known Islamic elementary school in Palembang. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Merdeka Curriculum's implementation at MI Hijriyah II Palembang, with an emphasis on its advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and threats. In order to collect data for this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis were used in conjunction with a case study design. Teachers, students, and administrators from the school were among the participants. The study shows that a learner-centered approach, greater student autonomy, and integration of Islamic values are characteristics of MI Hijriyah II Palembang's Merdeka Curriculum implementation. Still, there are issues like poor training for teachers, a lack of resources, and mistrust from parents. This study highlights the opportunities and difficulties the school faced in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum in a particular educational setting. The results have implications for stakeholder engagement, resource allocation, and teacher professional development, which will ultimately help MI Hijriyah II Palembang and other schools improve how they implement the curriculum

THE ROLE OF SCHOOL PRINCIPAL IN OVERCOMING TEACHERS ’ OBSTACLES TO DEVELOP THE INDEPENDENT CURRICULUM IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Keywords?: elementary school?; independent curriculum development?; principal ’ s role?; teachers ’ obstacles INTRODUCTION In the last few decades , the focus on the world of education amidst curriculum reform has grown . 1 This attention is increasingly increasing with curriculum reform - where teachers play an independent role in its success . 2 , 3 Development of the independent curriculum is a new matter in education in Indonesia . Such development is supposed to be one of the innovations in the education system in Indonesia which aims to provide flexibility and school autonomy in designing the school curriculum according to the needs of students . 4 , 5 However , in its implementation , the transition period from the 2013 curriculum to the independent curriculum has created new problems for the school community , including educators , students , curriculum development teams , principals , and other stakeholders . 6 One of the problems experienced by teachers in developing the independent curriculum is that teachers still have difficulty compiling the patterns of lesson planning in a new format , adjusting to new school programs , and establishing new administration . 7 Teachers as direct implementers of learning have a major role in implementing the independent curriculum in the classroom . However , teachers frequently face challenges in adapting and implementing the principles of independent curriculum in daily practice . 8 Teacher is the key to successful curriculum implementation , this is influenced by knowledge and teacher perceptions in playing the role of curriculum The education system has become more accountable for providing a positive and productive learning atmosphere in which both life skills and academic skills are taught. 15(2). https://doi.org/10.14421/al-bidayah.v15i2.1041
