Perbandingan sistem pendidikan Islam di Asia Tenggara

Studi kasus di negara: Indonesia, Thailand dan Singapura

Abstract

Islamic education System in Southeast Asia demonstrates substantial variation. In Indonesia, Islamic education has experienced significant progress. One example is the implementation of Islamic Religious Education as a compulsory subject in schools and state universities. In Malaysia, there have been significant improvements in Islamic education since 1956, such as the teaching of Islamic religious education in national schools and the establishment of a department of religious education responsible for all aspects of religious education in schools. In Thailand, particularly in areas like Pattani, Setul, Yala, and Narathiwat, Islamic education, utilizing Pondok and Madrasah, forms the foundation of Islamic identity and resistance against the central government. However, the situation of Islamic education in Singapore is different, where the objectives of Islamic education within the national education system are unclear. There are no Islamic universities, standardized curricula, centralized administration of Islamic education, and there are limitations in funding and economic status for Islamic teachers.
