<![CDATA[Islamic education in Indonesia has experienced a dynamic development since the pre-colonial period through traditional institutions such as pesantren, surau, and madrasah that functioned as centers of religious and moral education. The arrival of Dutch colonialism changed the course of Islamic education through discriminatory policies aimed at reducing its influence in indigenous society. Colonialism introduced a more controlled Western education system and sidelined Islamic education, which had to adapt amidst the pressure.
