As for the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, the problems of implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, and the efforts made by schools and PAI teachers in overcoming the problems of implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. The research method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The results of this study indicate that the Merdeka Curriculum can form the Pancasila Student Profile in class X PAI lessons at SMA Negeri 1 Tambun Selatan. This is evidenced by data from resource persons, namely the Principal, Deputy Head of Curriculum, PAI Teacher, Grade X students, and reinforced by relevant theories. In addition, the teacher in learning PAI class X is in accordance with the teaching module that adapts to the CP and ATP of the Ministry of Education and Culture. There are obstacles experienced by class X PAI teachers when implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, namely less than optimal differentiated learning and less than optimal intracurricular learning.

These efforts are expected to be a solution to overcome the problems that occur in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum.
