Multisector collaboration in curriculum implementation in remote schools in Eastern Indonesia is essential for addressing various educational challenges, including limited infrastructure, low teaching quality, and restricted access to educational services. This study aims to examine collaborative practices in remote schools, particularly in Papua and Maluku, involving local communities, religious leaders, traditional leaders, parents, and government authorities. In addition, the study seeks to analyze the opportunities and challenges within multisector collaboration to strengthen curriculum implementation in remote educational contexts. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through literature reviews, case studies, and in-depth interviews with teachers, this research found that the involvement of multiple stakeholders has a positive impact on the development of more relevant and context-responsive curricula. Such collaboration enriches the learning experience by integrating local cultural values and real-life community contexts. Consequently, this collaborative approach produces curricula that are more responsive to local needs and contributes to the realization of more inclusive and equitable education in remote regions.
