<![CDATA[Madrasahs are Islamic educational institutions that play an important role in the development of education in Indonesia. Their existence is not only related to religious education but has also become an integral part of the national education system that continues to evolve. This study examines the presence of madrasahs within the national education system from a socio-historical perspective on Islamic education, exploring their historical development, the dynamics of national education policies, and the social factors that influence their sustainability and strengthen their position. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research. Data were collected from primary sources, including educational regulations and official government documents, as well as secondary sources such as books, journal articles, and relevant research findings. The data were analyzed using content analysis and historical analysis to identify patterns in the development of madrasahs within the context of national education. The findings reveal that the existence of madrasahs is shaped by three main factors: historical adaptability to social and educational changes, the strengthening of their position through state policy legitimacy, and the support of social capital within Muslim communities. These factors interact in sustaining madrasahs while reinforcing their role as Islamic educational institutions integrated into Indonesia’s national education system. The study demonstrates that madrasahs have not only survived various social and political transformations but have also continuously adapted to societal needs and educational policy developments.
