Abstract

This research develops an entrepreneurship education model for pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) to support economic self-reliance and sustainable development. While pesantren possess significant potential as institutions for education, religious outreach (dakwah), and community empowerment, the integration of entrepreneurship into their formal curricula remains limited. This study employs a literature review approach to analyze the current situation, internal and external factors, key strategic actors, and collaborative strategies for fostering entrepreneurship within pesantren. The findings indicate that successful development is influenced by the leadership of the kyai (head of the pesantren), organizational culture, the quality of human resources, government policy, financial support, partnerships, and digital transformation. The proposed model emphasizes the integration of Islamic values, entrepreneurial competencies, social responsibility, environmental awareness, and economic sustainability within an "eco-religiopreneurship" framework. This model is expected to strengthen the self-reliance of pesantren, enhance the capacity of santri (students) as Muslim entrepreneurs, and expand the contribution of pesantren to society and the achievement of sustainable development goals.
