<![CDATA[The Islamic education policy implemented during the New Order era (1965-1998) had a significant impact on the development of madrasah in Indonesia. The policy included the integration of general and religious curricula, as well as modernization efforts that affected the management and quality of education in madrasah. The main focus of this policy was the incorporation of madrasah into the national education system through strict regulations, including in terms of curriculum and management. In the Reform era after 1998, there was a policy change that focused more on giving greater autonomy to madrasahs, as well as decentralizing education management, which allowed more flexibility for madrasahs in developing their curriculum and management. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of Islamic education policies during the New Order era on the development of madrasahs, as well as to examine policy changes during the Reform era, especially regarding decentralization and applicable regulations. The method used in this study is qualitative with a descriptive approach, through literature studies that include laws, regulations, and scientific literature related to Islamic education policies. The results showed that policies during the New Order era succeeded in strengthening the position of madrasahs in the national education system, although the challenges of modernization and resource gaps were still obstacles. In the Reform era, autonomy and decentralization provided opportunities for madrasah to be more independent, although there were still challenges in terms of regulatory implementation and access to technology. In conclusion, Islamic education policies from the New Order era to the Reformation showed a significant shift in the management of madrasah, with positive impacts on the quality and flexibility of management, although challenges of access and modernization still needed to be overcome.]]>
