Teachers are actively involved in developing relevant learning materials and supporting student development. However, despite progress, there are still challenges in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum at SMA Negeri 1 Taman - Sidoarjo, such as a lack of resources, inadequate teacher training, and resistance to change. This requires further efforts to provide support and training to teachers and improve educational facilities and infrastructure. SMA Negeri 1 Taman - Sidoarjo has succeeded in developing a curriculum that is responsive to student needs, including innovative and technology-based learning approaches. This development needs to be adopted by more schools to increase relevance to global and local needs. Carrying out P5 projects with the support of the entire school community is one way to enable students to play an active role in their learning. The independent study program supports comprehensive character and skills development.
