PESANTREN ON THE FRAME OF GOVERNMENT POLICIES
Abstract: This article tries
to describe government policies toward pesantren, as the Islamic intistitution,
which has been existing from the early
Independence of Indonesia period to present times, and its implications
on the progresses of pesantren. This study
uses library research on related documents of government policies and the result shows
that the government
policies tend to
indicate to be
a positive development. In the
beginning of old and new orders, government policies were simply in
form of unofficial claim above
the role of
pesantren in accelerating
the nation intelligence. Since
the release of
decree of UU
No. 2/1989 pesantren
has been approved and legitimated as
the subsystem of
national education, though, pesantren keeps and maintains its
characterisitc. As UU No. 20/2003
legitimated and followed by
relating policies –
especilally PP No.
55/1997, PMA No. 13/2014,
and PMA No. 18/2014
– pesantren has
been totally awarded
as part of national educational system, in turn, such
of the institution has more freedom in portraying Islamic
values by enhancing
its characteristic as
the institution focusing on
tafaqquh fî al-dîn (an attempt to a totally Islamic understandings) and developing
the other competences based on the characteristic of each pesantren.
