The Lack of Facilities as an Obstacle to Implementing the Merdeka Curriculum in the Learning Process at SDN Belitung Selatan 4. Currently, implementing the Merdeka Curriculum in elementary schools requires teachers to be more creative and flexible in their teaching to fully unlock student potential (Kurniawan et al., 2024). Unfortunately, this major shift often runs into real-world challenges on the ground, particularly regarding the quality and availability of supporting facilities (Erroyani, 2022; Ananda et al., 2023). This study was conducted to capture the actual condition of learning facilities at SDN Belitung Selatan 4 and examine the real obstacles that arise in implementing the new curriculum due to these limitations. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through fieldwork observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation with the school principal and teachers. The findings show that learning facilities at the school are indeed very minimal, especially when it comes to concrete learning media, technological (ICT) tools, and other classroom supports (Saputri & Pratikno, 2024). As a direct impact, teachers struggle to run differentiated learning, the variety of teaching media becomes limited, and the execution of the Project for Strengthening the Profile of Pancasila Students (P5) is less than optimal (Ananda et al., 2023; Kurniawan et al., 2024). Despite tight budgets and lack of equipment, the teachers and school management do not just give up; they work around it by maximizing what is available and creating simple, environment-based learning tools. In conclusion, no matter how good the concept of the Merdeka Curriculum is, having adequate facilities remains a fundamental foundation that cannot be ignored if we want it to work successfully in elementary schools (Erroyani, 2022; Saputri & Pratikno, 2024).References
