Abstract

The development of a curriculum administration study as a strategic effort to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of learning at SMPN 8 Natal. In the context of rapidly changing educational demands, schools are required to manage curriculum implementation more systematically, ensuring that learning activities align with competency standards, student needs, and available school resources. This study highlights how better curriculum administration—including planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating—can significantly support teachers in designing meaningful learning experiences. Through strengthened administrative practices, such as coherent scheduling, structured documentation, optimal teacher workload distribution, and data-driven decision-making, learning activities can be implemented more efficiently and with greater pedagogical impact. The importance of collaborative management involving school leaders, teachers, and education personnel to foster an ecosystem that supports learning.
