Has the Merdeka Belajar, Kampus Merdeka (Freedom Curriculum, Independent Campus) program really given the freedom to students, like the ideal education according to Ki Hajar Dewantara?

There is almost no educational program to increase creativity. Thus, two things that are urgently needed in our education are to push for the even distribution of education and to stimulate creativity.

The Independent Campus program has many advantages, but it is not without its flaws. There are those who take advantage of opportunities to ease the burden of classroom learning activities.

The “freedom to learn” principle must be reinstated in its essence, which is the spirit of creativity and curiosity about learning new things, instead of adding bureaucratic layers through the higher education scheme.
