“The regulation is a continuation of the ministerial regulation on graduate competency standards, the regulation on content standards, and this is the one that stipulates about deep learning,” he said after the Indonesian Great Children’s Festival at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah Park here on Tuesday.
He emphasized that the regulation will only tweak the existing curriculum to support the application of deep learning.
Further curriculum adjustment will be needed to reduce the learning load, or the amount of material covered by each subject, without compromising on learning quality, he said.
“The subject content is reduced, but that does not mean the quality declines,” he added.
Through deep learning, the ministry aims to focus teaching on material considered important by students. This is to avoid content repetition.
“Deep learning is our effort to ensure that the material taught is minimal yet essential, to prevent unnecessary repetition,” he said.
Through Ministerial Regulation No. 13 of 2025, students will be able to learn across disciplines, with lessons linked to real-world aspects found in their daily environments, he informed.
“We want that what is taught to students is truly essential using an integrative, interdisciplinary approach and a contextual approach connected to real-life situations that students encounter in their environment,” the minister said.
Minister Mu’ti also expressed the hope that the regulation on deep learning will create a more joyful and enjoyable learning environment that will bring greater benefits to students.
