This research aims to analyze the obstacles faced in the implementation of policy, the implications of policy changes, and what appropriate recommendations are to increase the success of the Ministry of Education and Culture's policy change number 53 of 2023. The method used in this research is the library research method. Data is obtained from various sources, such as scientific journals, books, seminar papers, and other publications related to offline and online research topics. The data is then analyzed using an interactive qualitative model. The data analysis model consists of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that obstacles to implementing change include institutional resistance, limited resources, a curriculum that must be revised, and the development of guidelines and learning materials. The implications of policy changes for students include flexibility in learning, practical experience, readiness for the world of work, and adjustments to interests. For higher education institutions, these include curriculum revision, lecturer training, and facilitation of practical activities. For education broadly, these include innovation in education, adaptation to job needs, improving the quality of graduates, and international recognition. Appropriate strategic recommendations to increase the success of policy changes include training lecturers and supporting staff, developing guidelines and learning materials, fair and transparent assessment systems, collaboration with industry, continuous monitoring and evaluation, facilitation of facilities and infrastructure, development of supporting policies, and the development of learning communities.
