Abstract

Educational autonomy in Indonesia constitutes a strategic milestone in post-1998 educational reform, marked by a transition from a centralized to a decentralized system. This policy reflects the government’s commitment to promoting independence, participation, and accountability in educational governance at both regional and institutional levels. This study aims to examine the concept and implementation of educational autonomy while identifying the opportunities and challenges faced by Islamic educational institutions. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach through library research, the study draws on regulatory and scholarly sources, including legislation, ministerial regulations, and recent academic literature. The findings reveal that educational autonomy provides substantial opportunities for Islamic educational institutions to foster curriculum innovation, strengthen community-based governance, and enhance educational quality in alignment with Islamic values. However, its implementation encounters significant challenges, including regional disparities in capacity, limited human resources, and weak coordination between local governments and the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The study concludes that the effectiveness of educational autonomy depends on stakeholder collaboration and institutional readiness to implement autonomy principles in a sustainable manner. This study contributes a policy-oriented framework that positions Islamic educational institutions as active actors in decentralized educational governance.

Abstract

The development of digital technology not only has a major effect on human life, including education, but also causes moral crises such as hoaxes, hate speech, and empathy degradation. This study aims to study Imām Al-Gazālī's perspective on spiritual education as an alternative solution to overcome the moral crisis in the modern era. In addition, this study also creates a plan to implement character education based on spirituality. This type of research is qualitative using a literature study approach. This study collects data by conducting an in-depth analysis of Al-Gazālī's writings and related literature. Such as Al-Gazālī's main works, such as Ihya 'Ulumuddin, Ayyuha al-Walad, and Mizan al-'Amal. The study shows that Al-Gazālī's educational ideas that emphasize the strengthening of morals, purification of the soul (tazkiyatun nafs), and spiritual achievement through reason, heart, soul, and spirit are very relevant to addressing the moral crisis that occurs in the modern era. Primarily, values such as honesty, trustworthiness, patience, gratitude, and self-reflection shape students' characters. Spirituality-based character education can be implemented through curriculum, daily routines, teacher examples, family involvement, and wise use of digital media. This study offers the concept of Al-Gazālī's spirituality-based character education as a solution to the moral crisis of the young generation in the digital era and provides practical guidelines for educational institutions, teachers, and families in forming intelligent, moral, and spiritual individuals.
