Abstract:
The 21st century and society 5.0 era of Indonesia has improved various areas of life, economy,
socio-culture, poli=cs, defense, security, and others. In addi=on to facing the demands of the 21st
century and society 5.0, Indonesia is also facing a learning crisis that has resulted in educa=on
being increasingly le@ behind with the loss of learning and increasing learning gaps between
regions and socio-economic groups. This situa=on is exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This
paper examines conceptually and empirically how Indonesia is improving in order to restore the
condi=on of educa=on, so that the vision, mission, and goals of Indonesian Na=onal Educa=on
can be achieved. The Indonesian government in restoring this learning through the Ministry of
Kementrian Pendidikan dan Kebudayan, Riset, dan Teknologi Republik Indonesia launched the
Merdeka Belajar Program", 15st episode: Kurikulum Merdeka and Merdeka Mengajar PlaSorm.
In the implementa=on of the Kurikulum Merdeka Program, it is supported by the development of
educator competence and capacity with a leadership model of the headmaster and teacher. The
principal and educator are both leaders, namely the principal as the leader of the educa=onal
unit, and the educator as the leader in the learning process. Both must have the competence and
capacity to carry out their du=es and obliga=ons according to their respec=ve roles and func=ons.
