Abstract:
Islamic boarding schools that are institutions in the community, especially in rural areas, are one of the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia.(Badrudin, 2024) The beginning of the presence of Islamic boarding schools was traditional to explore Islamic religious sciences as a guideline for life (tafaqquh fi al-din) in society. (Hayana & Wahidmurni, 2019)(Hayana & Wahidmurni, 2019), apart from that on a broader scale, Islamic boarding schools, with their strong religious and social traditions, have a unique potential to promote the values of tolerance and intercultural understanding. (Gozali et al., 2024) Education in Islamic boarding schools is characterized by a management approach that is often different compared to other formal educational institutions. Factors that affect public perception of the quality of pesantren education include school-based management (SBM), educational innovation, curriculum applied, financial management, and community involvement in the educational process. According to Aziz (Aziz, 2015), MBS is an effective strategy to improve the quality of education in madrassas and Islamic boarding schools. This is in line with the need to implement an integrated quality management system (TQM) in education, which can produce graduates who not only have academic ability, but also good character (Fadli, 2017). A good curriculum implementation can also contribute to the quality of education. Noviana et al. (Noviana, I., Farida, S., Fatimah, P., & Hanik, 2022) Showing that designing an appropriate curriculum is an important step to improve the quality of education. In the context of Islamic boarding schools, the curriculum must consider a holistic approach that integrates religious and general knowledge, so that it can meet the expectations of the community. Adinda and Patimah's research by Adinda & Patimah explains that optimal school financial management is also a key factor in improving the quality of education. The efficient use of resources ensures that pesantren can provide better educational facilities, improve the learning environment, and support innovation in the teaching process.
