Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the role of Islamic education in addressing the issue of out-of-school children, focusing on how it can improve access to education, enhance learning outcomes, and create a supportive environment for children’s intellectual, spiritual, and moral growth. Theoretical framework: The study is based on theories of educational access, equity, and holistic education, focusing on how Islamic education can contribute to reducing educational exclusion and promoting well-rounded development. Literature review: The review explores the barriers faced by disadvantaged children in accessing education, such as financial constraints and inadequate facilities, while highlighting the potential of Islamic education to provide inclusive, moral, and intellectual growth. Method: A qualitative approach was used, involving case studies, interviews, and site visits to Islamic schools and community-based education initiatives to explore the challenges and benefits of Islamic education. Results: The results indicate that Islamic education plays a significant role in providing education to children who are otherwise excluded from the formal education system. While it offers a balanced approach that fosters intellectual, moral, and spiritual development, the study also identifies several challenges, including limited resources, inadequate facilities, and a shortage of trained teachers. Despite these obstacles, Islamic education has shown promise in improving learning outcomes and providing an enabling environment for children’s growth. Implications: The findings suggest that Islamic education should be considered in education policy to address the out-of-school children issue, with investments in resources, facilities, and teacher training to improve quality and access. Novelty: This study highlights the underexplored role of Islamic education in resolving the out-of-school children issue, providing a unique perspective on non-formal education as a solution to educational exclusion.

Abstract

Objective: This article aims to analyze the concept of multicultural equality and justice in education, particularly from the perspective of Islamic education, as well as explain its implications for the formation of character education in a multicultural society. Theoretical framework: This research is based on the theory of multicultural education (Banks and Nieto), the theory of social and distributive justice, and the value of Islamic education that emphasizes al-'adl (justice) and al-musāwah (equality). Literature review: The literature review examines studies on multicultural education, social justice, and Islamic education, and shows that there is still limited research that integrates multicultural equality and justice within the framework of Islamic education. Methods: The research uses a qualitative approach through a literature study of books, journal articles, and education policy documents, with content analysis and conceptual synthesis. Results: The results of the study show that equality in Islamic education is interpreted as recognition of equal human dignity, while justice is understood as the provision of rights and opportunities for learning proportionally. The integration of these two principles in multicultural education contributes significantly to the formation of the character of students who are tolerant, fair, and responsible. Implications: Theoretically, this study enriches the study of Islamic-based multicultural education; practically, it becomes the basis for the development of an equity- and justice-oriented curriculum, learning, and school culture. Novelty: The novelty of the research lies in the systematic integration of the concept of multicultural equality and justice with character education from the perspective of Islamic education.
