Abstract

Madrasah is still interesting to talk over. Madrasah, as an Islamic education institution in Indonesia, has emerged and developed as Islam came to Indonesia. The madrasah has developed into some levels and types as the Indonesia developed. So that madrasah, as an Islamic education, has been a part of national education system. With the emergence of Law Number 20 Year 2003 on the National Education System in Reform era in Indonesia, madrasah exactly equate with public schools. This equalisation creates types of madrasah, such as madrasah “skill”, madrasah “excellence”, madrasah “model”, and religious madrasah. Until now, madrasah is at the crossroad, pulled between the maintenance of historical tradition and the adopting a new developing phase. Madrasah is supposed to be built on the foundation of Islamic values, the essential characters of Islamic education history, and the formula of future’s challenge. The Islamic characters and the popularity of madrasah is the identity of history reϔlected on its education curriculum. Madrasah is obliged to apply the bottom vision and mission of “pesantren” (Islamic boarding school), namely “tafaqquh ϔi al-din” (fully understanding on religious affairs), by increasing society participation in the empowerment of madrasah by implementing accountable management and qualityoriented, which will encourage madrasah to be centers of excellence; and increasing participation, so that madrasah will be the core of learning society, capable, and integrated with society
