<![CDATA[Character education has emerged as a significant and widely discussed topic in recent years, drawing considerable attention from educators and researchers alike. Many studies have explored its relationship with the roles played by educators and educational institutions. In this context, the contribution of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) to character development, particularly in the era of disruption, remains an important area of inquiry. However, existing research has yet to comprehensively address how pesantren actively shape national character.
