Summary

Regulation of the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Number 12 of 2025 regulates Content Standards in Early Childhood Education (PAUD), the basic education level, and the secondary education level. Content Standards are the minimal criteria for the scope of material required to achieve graduate competencies. Specifically for PAUD, the scope of material is formulated based on the Standards of Child Development Achievement Levels (STPPA). The PAUD Content Standards are developed based on six aspects of child development, namely religious and moral values, Pancasila values, physical-motor, cognitive, language, and social-emotional, which are formulated in an integrated manner in the form of developmental achievement descriptions. The scope includes, among others, the formation of morals and religious values, self and national identity, care and cooperation, independence, creativity, pre-literacy, pre-numeracy, communication, and the habituation of a clean and healthy lifestyle. This regulation also regulates the scope of material for early childhood children with special needs who have disabilities, covering general material and special material adapted to the children's needs. With the enactment of this regulation, Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Number 8 of 2024 concerning Content Standards in PAUD, Basic Education Level, and Secondary Education Level is revoked and declared invalid.
