Abstract

The implementation of the guidance and supervision function for marriage requirements at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) currently faces serious challenges that have implications for the validity of marriage legality and family resilience in Indonesia. This policy research aims to formulate strategies to optimize the KUA's function by strengthening human resource capacity to address weak document verification and the low quality of premarital guidance. The policy methodology used is a descriptive qualitative approach with Policy Research analysis methods, involving the study of regulatory documents, field observations, and descriptive analysis of secondary data on divorce rates and marital status disputes. The analysis was conducted by identifying gaps between the standard operating procedures stipulated in the regulations and the reality of technical capacity at the sub-district level. The study results indicate that the main factors contributing to weak supervision are an imbalance in the ratio of the number of registrars to their workload, a lack of digital literacy among officers in detecting data manipulation, and a fluctuating guidance budget. Consequently, the KUA's function is often reduced to merely an administrative recording institution rather than a guardian of the quality of family law.

Abstract

The utilization of cash waqf as an instrument for sustainable madrasah education in Indonesia still faces significant obstacles, rooted in low literacy and understanding among the academic community. This condition is triggered by the lack of systematic integration of cash waqf material into the curriculum, as well as the lack of contextual teaching materials that can connect classical Islamic jurisprudence doctrine with modern social finance practices. This policy paper aims to formulate a strategy for mainstreaming cash waqf as a strategic issue in the madrasah education system to create financial independence for the institution. The policy methodology applied is a descriptive qualitative analysis through an Evidence-Based Policy Making (EBPM) approach, which includes a systematic literature review, a comparative analysis of regulations between Law Number 41 of 2004 concerning Waqf and national curriculum standards, and stakeholder mapping. The analysis shows that without a clear formulation of competencies in the domains of knowledge, attitudes, and practical skills, cash waqf will continue to be viewed as peripheral, supplementary material. The study recommends three key policy interventions: reorienting Graduate Competency Standards (SKL) to prioritize philanthropic literacy, developing digital modules based on investment instruments such as Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS), and institutionalizing waqf management units as practical laboratories in madrasas. This integrated strategy is expected to transform madrasas from mere educational subjects into centers of an accountable Islamic philanthropic ecosystem, while equipping students with financial literacy relevant to future economic challenges.

Abstract

The transformation of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) into an inclusive religious service center is a strategic step to realize the mandate of religious moderation in Indonesia. However, this effort has faced stagnation due to a chronic gap between macro-political vision and technical operational legality at the ground level. This policy article employs a qualitative-descriptive methodology with a systematic analysis procedure that combines the study of regulatory documents and secondary data on service satisfaction. The analysis indicates that the stagnation in the inclusive KUA transformation stems from the absence of derivative regulations harmonizing cross-sectoral authority between the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Home Affairs. This situation is exacerbated by the dual legal regime of population administration and civil registration, which has fueled administrative uncertainty at the operational level. This article recommends the issuance of a Joint Decree (SKB) between the Ministers of Religious Affairs and the Ministers of Home Affairs as a "bridging regulation" to synchronize service protocols and legitimize SIMKAH-SIAK data interoperability. Implementation of this SKB is predicted to eliminate sectoral egos, provide legal protection for officials, and guarantee legal certainty for all citizens in accessing public services equally and without discrimination.

Abstract

This policy study is motivated by the low accessibility of religious services for Christians in marginalized areas of South Sumatra Province, characterized by a chronic gap in the ratio of religious instructors to religious teachers. The main problem focuses on the distribution of functional personnel, which is centralized in urban areas, while transmigration and coastal areas experience a lack of sustainable education and spiritual guidance services. This study uses a descriptive qualitative methodology with a policy evaluation approach modeled after William N. Dunn, which includes criteria for effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and technical feasibility. Using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) scoring technique, it was found that the inequality in human resource distribution is the most pressing issue requiring immediate intervention. The analysis results indicate that conventional recruitment mechanisms fail to address the extreme geographic barriers in South Sumatra. Therefore, this study recommends policy engineering through the implementation of a "Cluster System" or Integrated Religious Service Unit. This scheme legalizes the accumulation of teacher and instructor workloads across locations within a single service zone to fulfill administrative requirements for civil servants and professional allowances. Through this regulatory transformation, it is hoped that the problem of the small number of students at one coordinate point can be overcome, so that the state can guarantee the fulfillment of citizens' constitutional rights to embrace religion and receive proper religious education without being hampered by spatial and administrative limitations.

Abstract

This policy paper is motivated by an anomalous phenomenon in the Islamic philanthropy sector in Lampung Province, namely the significant gap between the high number of annual marriages and the low realization of accumulated cash waqf funds from prospective brides and grooms. The main problem is identified as the low ratio of public participation that is not commensurate with demographic potential, which is rooted in weak cash waqf literacy among the productive age population due to the lack of social environmental influence and the limited reach of adaptive counseling for the younger generation. The methodology used in this policy study is a qualitative-descriptive approach with document analysis and field observation, which is then evaluated using the William N. Dunn policy scoring method based on the criteria of effectiveness, feasibility, and impact to determine intervention priorities. The results of the analysis indicate that the main root of the problem lies in the inconsistency of educational narratives and the low specific competencies of apparatus on the front line of service. Therefore, this article recommends policy transformation through the issuance of the "Decree of the Head of the Lampung Ministry of Religious Affairs Regional Office concerning the Standardization of Marriage Guidance Curriculum (Bimwin) Based on Philanthropic Literacy". These recommendations include the integration of persuasive educational modules, the use of transparent digital tools, and a competency certification scheme for marriage registrars and counselors.

Abstract

The unequal distribution of Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic Senior High School) between urban and underdeveloped areas in Indonesia is a major obstacle to achieving equitable access to secondary education. This policy paper aims to analyze the urgency of equalizing educational units through the integration of geospatial information systems and affirmative action policies. Currently, madrasah development is still dominated by an urban bias paradigm that prioritizes densely populated areas for fiscal efficiency, thus creating a blank spot phenomenon or blind access areas in remote areas. As a result, there is a stagnation in the Gross Enrollment Rate (APK) and an increase in the dropout rate among Madrasah Tsanawiyah graduates in remote areas due to geographic barriers and extreme travel distances. The policy methodology used in this study is a descriptive-qualitative approach with problem priority analysis using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method. Primary and secondary data are processed through School Mapping techniques and spatial analysis to identify the level of accessibility of educational services. Next, an analysis of alternative policies is conducted to weigh the effectiveness of community-based development models, urban moratorium policies, and the development of Geographic Information System (GIS)-based roadmaps. Risk mitigation was also developed to map technical, fiscal, and operational barriers to policy implementation on the ground. The analysis recommends the government immediately adopt a GIS-based Madrasah Equity Roadmap as a basis for objective decision-making. This strategy must be accompanied by a moratorium on madrasah development in saturated urban areas to redistribute the budget affirmatively to underdeveloped areas.

Abstract

This paper highlights the critical gap between the high volume of marriage services in the Religious Affairs Office (KUA) of Jambi Province and the lack of substantive intervention regarding radicalism prevention in the Marriage Guidance (Bimwin) curriculum. Despite serving over 21,590 marriages in 2024, the current curriculum remains administrative-heavy and lacks adaptive content on religious moderation, leaving new families vulnerable to ideological infiltration. The study employs a qualitative policy analysis approach using the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) method to determine priority issues and the Fishbone diagram to identify root causes. Furthermore, alternative policy solutions are evaluated using William N. Dunn’s criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, and responsiveness. The analysis reveals that the absence of binding regulations and standardized curriculum integration is the core problem. The results indicate that issuing a Circular Letter (Surat Edaran) is the most viable policy alternative compared to pilot projects or forming special teams. Consequently, this study recommends that the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Jambi Province immediately issue a Circular Letter mandating the integration of religious moderation and anti-radicalism materials into the Bimwin curriculum. This policy is expected to transform KUA from a mere administrative body into a proactive agent for strengthening national resilience through the family unit.

Abstract

The global digital economy presents a formidable challenge to traditional institutions, demanding a paradigm shift that balances cultural preservation with economic innovation. This study investigates the construction of an ethical and sustainable Digital Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (DEE) for Indonesian Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), institutions central to the nation’s social and religious fabric. Grounded in a philosophical synthesis of Indonesia’s People’s Economy (Ekonomi Kerakyatan) principles and Islamic ethics, this research addresses the critical nexus of traditional values and modern digital transactional demands. Employing a qualitative multi-case study of five influential pesantren in East Java, the research identifies the core components and strategic pathways for this digital transition. The findings reveal that a successful ecosystem architecture rests on three pillars: Ethical-Spiritual Governance, leveraging the moral authority of leadership (Kyai) and community trust; Socio-Digital Collaboration, which translates immense social capital into structured digital networks; and Inclusive Capacity Building, which creates accessible pathways for digital literacy and entrepreneurship. This study critiques the conventional technology-centric ecosystem models, proposing a novel, values-driven framework that positions pesantren as architects of a more equitable and culturally resonant digital future. It contributes a philosophically robust model for digital entrepreneurship that prioritizes holistic community welfare (falah) over profit-centric metrics, offering a significant contribution to the discourse on ethical technology adoption in religious communities.

Abstract

Child marriage in Jambi Province remains a significant issue despite the increase in the minimum age for marriage through Law Number 16 of 2019. This phenomenon indicates a gap between formal regulations and implementation at the grassroots level, requiring deeper policy intervention. This policy article aims to formulate a strategy for transforming the role of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) so that it is no longer trapped in the administrative function of marriage registration, but instead becomes a front-line institution in systematic preventive action against child marriage. This paper uses a qualitative methodology with a qualitative approach using descriptive-analytical methods. Data collection was conducted through a literature review of current regulations, population statistics reports in Jambi, and a document review regarding the effectiveness of premarital counseling. The analysis was conducted using a gap analysis framework to map the differences between the legal mandate after the law revision and the current institutional capacity of the KUA in conducting early detection. The analysis shows that the main obstacles to transforming the role of the KUA include limited authority in mitigating marriage dispensations, the lack of competence of religious leaders in psychosocial counseling, and strong sociocultural pressures in the field. This article recommends revitalizing the function of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) through the development of an Early Detection System (SDD) for child marriage, increasing the capacity of registrars as certified counselors, and strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration.

Abstract

Raudhatul Athfal (RA) is currently facing an institutional credibility crisis that has resulted in a low national Gross Enrollment Rate (APK) of 7.91%. This study aims to analyze the urgency of strengthening the managerial competency of RA leaders through an evidence-based policy approach, by reviewing research findings, the Ministry of Religious Affairs' 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, and the 2020–2024 BPS. The analysis reveals a serious regulatory contradiction in PMA Number 24 of 2018, which removes the requirement for managerial certification for new madrasas, thus widening the regulatory loophole previously regulated in PMA Number 58 of 2017. This indecisiveness is exacerbated by the Decree of the Director General of Islamic Education Number 1176 of 2024, which only positions assessment as data mapping without judicial binding power. As a result, the mechanism for appointing RA heads by the foundation is trapped in administrative formalities and familial subjectivity. As a strategic recommendation, this study proposes a revision of PMA No. 58 of 2017 to transform managerial certification into a mandatory "operational license" with strict passing grade standards. This policy must be integrated with fiscal instruments in the form of BOP fund distribution and the legality of Operational Permits (IJOP). Through this data-driven regulatory correction, it is hoped that professional and accountable RA governance will be created to enhance the institution's bargaining power and boost participation in Islamic early childhood education in a sustainable manner.
