<![CDATA[This study examines the integration management of the Merdeka Curriculum and the Pesantren Curriculum at MA Pondok Pesantren Nurul Islam Bayung Lencir. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, the study was conducted for six months (August 2024-January 2025) through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation analysis.
