Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of the policy on the curriculum, teaching methods, and the integration of Christian values in higher education for theology and CRE teacher training. Using a qualitative approach through policy analysis, this research found that Permendikbud No. 53 of 2023 demands the adaptation of an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum that aligns with the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI). On one hand, this policy strengthens the competency standards of CRE graduates, but on the other hand, it presents challenges in maintaining the theological distinctiveness and the mission of Christian character formation. This article also explores opportunities for the development of CRE through collaboration between universities and the utilization of digital technology in accordance with policy mandates.
