Abstract

This study analyzes the phenomena of commodification and inequality in the Indonesian education industry from a critical sociological perspective. Education, which is a basic right for all citizens, has been transformed into a commercial commodity accessible only to groups with certain economic, social, and cultural capital. This study used qualitative methods with content analysis based on Bourdieu's capital theory and Weber's stratification. The results indicate that commodification of education through superior private schools, tutoring, and achievement pathways strengthens student privilege and widens the gap between social classes. The privatization of education obscures the principle of meritocracy and creates a cycle of structural injustice that ultimately makes it difficult for students to achieve vertical social mobility. This research finds that educational inequality in Indonesia is not only a matter of access but also a structural problem that is supported by an unequal social, cultural, and economic system.

Abstract

Pesantren is one of the oldest educational institutions in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze how social capital contributes to economic independence at Pesantren Aulia Cendekia in Palembang, Indonesia. This is due to limited funding sources and competition among educational institutions. Pesantren, as an institution with a unique educational program centered on religious teaching, uses social capital to maintain financial sustainability by utilizing business units within the institution. This study examines the assets of pesantren business units using Robert D. Putnam's social capital theory, which links social capital with economic independence. With a comprehensive and contextual approach, this study uses qualitative methodology and collects data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the economic success of pesantren depends not only on their tangible assets but also on the quality of connections, teamwork, and important figures such as ustadz. Using sustainable business units, such as managing productive waqf (Islamic endowment funds), establishing business incubators, and forming Micro Waqf Banks in collaboration with the government, Islamic boarding schools utilize their social capital, which includes alumni networks and trust. In addition to business units, the ustad also plays an important role in the sustainability of Islamic boarding schools in terms of their economic independence.
