Abstract

This study aims to compare the education curricula of Indonesia and Singapore, focusing on structure, content, learning approaches, and outcomes. Curriculum plays a vital role in shaping the quality and direction of education systems. The method used in this study is a literature review with a qualitative comparative approach. The findings reveal that Singapore's curriculum is more structured, oriented towards 21st-century competencies, and emphasizes conceptual mastery and practical application. In contrast, Indonesia's curriculum is still evolving towards a more contextual and competency-based approach, but faces implementation challenges. These findings suggest that Indonesia can draw valuable insights from Singapore’s curriculum system to improve its national education quality.
