islamic schools

In Indonesia , most Islamic schools still pay little attention to secular subjects, believing that religious studies are enough. They feel that conventional education is best for children.Usually in rural areas and under the direction of a muslim scholar, pesantren are attended by young people seeking a detailed understanding of the Quran, the Arabic language, the sharia, and muslim traditions and history.

Some of us feel that we have to adjust with advances in technology and what ‘s going on in the world. A progressive model of Islamic education should be implemented to adapt the modern world. It’s also the challenge the muslim world is facing.

Some of Islamic schools or Islamic Boarding schools used the balance between the secular and religious at their curriculum. The shortage of staffing in Indonesia’s schools had serious difficulties remained, particularly in the areas of teacher salaries, teacher certification, and finding qualified personnel. Providing textbooks and other school equipment to be a significant problem as well.

President SBY three months ago announced the distribution of Rp 1.7 billion for the reconstruction of six Islamic boarding Schools in Indonesia.
Maftuh Basyuni as a Religious Affairs Minister said the ministry planned to reconstruct about 26.000 classroom of Islamic schools and provide scholarships for up to 1.5 million poor Islamic school students. He said the aid was possible because the Religious Affairs Ministry’s budget had been increased to Rp. 23 trillion this year from Rp. 14 trillion last year.

US State Department’s Bureau of Education and Cultural Affair provided the program Partnership for Schools Leading Change that has brought educator from private Islamic boarding schools in various regions of Indonesia to visit schools in diverse communities around the U.S.
