The development of education is not limited by time and space. Education continues to develop over time, with the aim of improving the quality of education itself. One of the important components in education is the curriculum. The curriculum has a very significant role in determining the progress of education in a country. This scientific article is written to gain a deeper understanding of the development of the curriculum in Indonesia from time to time, which has changed from the 1947 curriculum to the independent curriculum. The curriculum changes were made to meet the needs of the community and to adapt to the times. The writing of this article uses historical research methods. This research relies on relevant reference sources, such as journals and books that support the writing of these scientific articles. The results of the discussion show that the curriculum in Indonesia has been developed 11 times, namely in 1947, 1952, 1964, 1968, 1975, 1984, 1994, 2004, 2006, and 2013, and the independent curriculum.
