Curriculum functions for students

For students, the function of the curriculum is as a means of measuring their own abilities
and consumption of education. This is also related to the pursuit of targets that make students
easily understand various materials or carry out the learning process every day with ease. In
addition, it is also expected that students get new experiences which in the future can be
developed according to their development, and can become provisions for life later. In addition,
the function of the curriculum for students is to make it easier for them to map out the schedules
they will make later. With this schedule, they can divide their time to do the work that must be
done according to the teacher or educator's guidance later. The curriculum will make it easier for
students to map what they have to do from time to time, according to the evaluation conducted
by the teacher every 3 or 6 months.

Curriculum function for educators

For educators or teachers, the function of the curriculum will be very useful in
implementing teaching methods later. Educators or teachers will find it very helpful to have a
curriculum, because they can teach by following the structure that has been made in the delivery
of material and evaluations that will be carried out on students later. The function of the
curriculum here can also be called a work guideline for educators or teachers. With the
curriculum, educators or teachers can evaluate the development of students in absorbing the
knowledge and experiences that have been given.

Curriculum function for parents

Parents are certainly a very important factor in their children's education. Therefore, the
function of the curriculum is very influential for parents of students. Parents are figures who
must work together with the school in building character and learning knowledge for students.
Therefore, parents are required to know the curriculum used by their child's school. Because later
parents also have to guide and provide instruction to children in accordance with the applied
curriculum. In addition, another function of the curriculum for parents is to illustrate how their
children learn and what their children get while in school. So, parents can also evaluate children
and schools in implementing the learning curriculum.
Most importantly, the function of parents is of course also significant in supporting the
implementation of the curriculum, both for children who are students and also for educators in
facilitating the teaching and learning process.

Curriculum functions for schools and education offices

The function of the curriculum for schools and education offices is to uniform knowledge
within a group. For schools, of course, within the scope of the school, and for the education
office in a larger scope. This is of course determined with various considerations and decisions
that are best for life and welfare. In addition, this can also adjust the education that is needed in a
place which of course has its own geographical location, social conditions, and culture. Where in
Indonesia has a variety of cultural diversity which is of course a consideration too.
