Students at SD Negeri Sermo 1, Kulon Progo Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, (15/2/2023), learn in a positive school environment. Teachers who join the Fun School Movement community implement humane education in schools.

For at least the last three years, the government, through the Education, Culture, Research and Technology Ministry (Kemendikbudristek), has made several breakthroughs to improve the quality of education. With the Merdeka Belajar (independent learning) movement, which amounted to 24 episodes, several rules or "traditions" that did not advance education were revamped.

There will no longer be a national exam; it has tended to neglect learning. The determination of graduation eligibility is left up to the school and the evaluation of students by teachers. The administrative burden on teachers is reduced so they can focus more on student learning. The teaching method is no longer focused on the teacher, but on the student. Learning is not academically oriented, but values and develops students' potential.
