Curriculum Merdeka is an education policy that is expected to address challenges in the Indonesian education system, by providing flexibility and freedom for learners to develop their potential. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Independent curriculum in the context of education policy, using Siler-Miler theory as a framework for analysis. The methodology used in this study is a literature study that examines various articles and research related to the implementation of Independent curriculum at various levels of Education. The results showed that although the implementation of The Independent curriculum has shown progress, there are still significant challenges, such as teacher readiness and adequate educational infrastructure. In addition, support from principals and other stakeholders is critical to the successful implementation of this curriculum. This study concludes that the success of The Independent curriculum depends not only on the preparation of the curriculum itself, but also on the commitment and readiness of all elements of education to adapt to existing changes. The significance of these results indicates the need for a holistic approach in the implementation of education policy in order to achieve the desired goals.
