Curriculum Management as a Strategy in Realizing Sustainable Education

Abstract

Sustainable education is an essential approach in both national and global development, as it equips individuals with the knowledge, skills, and values required to address global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and inequality. In the context of education, the curriculum serves as a strategic instrument that not only regulates the content and objectives of learning but also determines the direction of character formation and competency development of students. However, gaps often occur between the curriculum being taught and the needs of society as well as the demands of the labor market, resulting in graduates who are frequently not fully prepared to compete optimally. Therefore, systematic, adaptive, and relevant curriculum management is required. This article aims to analyze the role of curriculum management in realizing sustainable education through a literature study. The findings indicate that curriculum management significantly contributes to improving the quality of learning, fostering collaboration, and preparing graduates to be highly competitive while maintaining social and environmental awareness.
