Abstract

This paper examines the impact of Dutch colonial policies on Islamic education in Palembang during the colonial period. Under Dutch rule, strict regulations were enforced on Islamic education, primarily aimed at controlling religious teachers and preventing them from using educational institutions to foster anti-colonial sentiment. The colonial government sought to weaken local resistance, often targeting influential ulama who played a key role in the dissemination of Islamic knowledge. In Palembang, traditional Islamic education was the dominant system during the Sultanate period, but with the rise of Dutch colonial power, Islamic education became marginalized, with a particular emphasis on the role of ulama and traditional Islamic teaching. Over time, the local society began to recognize the need for Dutch-style education, driven by the promise of better job opportunities for those holding Dutch school diplomas. Despite the establishment of Dutch-run schools, educational standards in Palembang remained low compared to other regions of Indonesia. This was due to both the limited public awareness of the importance of education and the inability of the colonial government to fulfill the educational aspirations of the local population. The paper highlights the complex interplay between colonial educational policies, local traditions, and the changing perceptions of education in Palembang during the colonial era.

Abstract

Multicultural education has a strategic role in shaping the character of a nation that is tolerant, inclusive, and able to live in harmony in the midst of the diversity that exists in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze how multicultural education can be optimized through three main aspects: the role of policies and curriculum, implementation practices in boarding schools, and the challenges of digital technology globalization. This research method uses a literature study approach, data is collected through books, journal articles, policy documents, and academic publication data. Data was analyzed using content analysis techniques by examining various scientific sources relevant to education policies, multicultural implementation models, and digital social dynamics in society. The results of the study show that national policies and curricula play an important role as a foundation for integrating multicultural values, while schools and Islamic boarding schools are the main focus in getting used to the values of tolerance and learning practices. However, the era of digital globalization has created new challenges that can threaten the formation of a tolerant character of students. Therefore, strengthening multicultural education needs to be accompanied by critical digital literacy and collaboration between institutions to be able to create an educational ecosystem that is adaptive to the times. This research emphasizes that multicultural education that is integrated with educational policies, practices, and digital literacy is an effective strategy in strengthening the nation's character in the global and digital era.
