Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze tolerance education policies and their integration into the curriculum of Islamic educational institutions in Muslim-minority areas: Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Hat Yai (Thailand), and Mentawai (Indonesia). Highlighting good practices in tolerance education is essential to strengthen Islamic education and counteract negative stigmas of Muslim minorities as intolerant or extremist. Design/methods/approach – Employing a mixed-methods approach with a cross-sectional design, this research prioritizes qualitative methods supported by quantitative data. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), documentation, and questionnaires. Findings – Tolerance education is implemented contextually, shaped by each country’s socio-political environment. In Cambodia, it is promoted through harmonious intergroup relations, a flexible curriculum, and state support, particularly from the monarchy and the Mufti’s autonomy in developing Islamic schools. In Thailand, private Islamic schools implement tolerance by aligning with the royal education framework, encouraging interfaith student interaction, and emphasizing Islamic teachings as rahmatan lil 'alamin. In Indonesia, state madrasas incorporate tolerance education systematically through national programs like Religious Moderation. Research implications/limitations – The findings underscore the importance of context-responsive educational policies to foster social harmony and prevent early signs of intolerance. This research is limited to specific regions but offers transferable insights. Originality/value – This study contributes original insights into how tolerance education can be effectively embedded within Islamic education curricula in minority Muslim contexts by adapting to local policies and cultural dynamics, fostering inclusive Islamic communities based on principles of mercy and coexistence.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the Malay language revitalization efforts within the educational environment at Yanyawit School, Thailand. Malay, as one of the ethnic languages ​​​​living in Southern Thailand, is experiencing a decline in function and use, especially among the younger generation. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this study explores the strategies implemented by educational institutions in maintaining and developing Malay as part of the local cultural identity. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of learning documents. The results show that Yanyawit School has undertaken various revitalization efforts, including through the integration of Malay into the curriculum, extracurricular activities in Malay, and community involvement in language preservation. These findings emphasize the importance of the role of schools as agents of local language preservation and provide recommendations for the development of multilingual education policies in multiethnic regions.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of the Mombolosuako (elopement) tradition among the Tolaki ethnic group in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, focusing on its practice in religiously diverse communities. This research specifically compares the implementation and acceptance of this tradition between the Muslim-majority Anggaberi District and Catholic-majority Puasana Village in Konawe Regency. Using a qualitative approach with a comparative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 16 key informants, field observations, and document analysis analyzed through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The findings reveal that in Anggaberi, where Muslims and Tolaki are the majority, Mombolosuako is practiced as a non-normal marriage from cultural identity although some consider it contrary to Islamic teachings. This practice is supported by Regional Regulation No. 1 of 2018 concerning the Implementation of Sara Merapu Customary Law of the Tolaki Tribe. Conversely, in Puasana, where Muslims and Tolaki are minorities, this tradition is neither known nor practiced. This indicates that diversity can reduce the role of customs in social structures. This research emphasizes the importance of adaptive and contextual regulatory approaches in multicultural societies, so that customary policies can balance between preserving traditions and dynamic social needs. These findings provide insights for policymakers and academics in designing more inclusive customary policies and add to the literature on the interaction between customary law, religion, and formal regulations in plural societies.
