Abstract

The management of educational funds in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) faces increasing demands for transparency, accountability, and sustainability in educational operations. However, many pesantren still rely on informal financial management practices that limit effective governance. This study aims to examine the implementation of good financial governance principles in managing educational funds in Islamic boarding schools in Palangka Raya and to analyze their implications for educational quality. The research employed a qualitative case study design involving several pesantren in Palangka Raya. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic qualitative analysis. The findings reveal that fund management in many pesantren is still dominated by traditional and trust-based practices, characterized by the absence of formal financial planning documents, limited transparency mechanisms, weak administrative accountability, and inadequate financial management capacity among administrators. Pesantren that adopt more structured financial governance practices demonstrate better allocation of resources, improved educational facilities, and more sustainable learning programs. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic education management by providing empirical evidence on how good financial governance can strengthen institutional accountability and support the improvement of educational quality in pesantren.

Abstract

A sustainable and diversified revenue structure is essential for higher education institutions to maintain financial stability amid changing funding environments. However, many universities, including the Australian National University (ANU), still face challenges related to dependence on government funding. This study aims to analyze the revenue structure of ANU during the 2022–2023 fiscal years and examine its shift toward financial diversification. This research employs a descriptive quantitative design using common size analysis to evaluate the proportion of each revenue component based on ANU’s official financial reports. The data were analyzed to identify changes in revenue composition and trends across the two fiscal years. The findings indicate that although government funding remains the dominant source of revenue, its proportional contribution has declined, while non-government income particularly from other income sources has increased significantly. This shift reflects a gradual movement toward a more diversified revenue structure. The study contributes to the literature on higher education financial management by providing empirical evidence of revenue diversification in a world-class university context and offers practical insights for developing sustainable and balanced funding strategies

Abstract

Inclusive education has been formally mandated in Indonesia; however, its implementation at the school level remains inconsistent, particularly in managing students with special needs. This study aims to analyze school management practices in implementing inclusive education in two primary schools in Bukittinggi City. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving principals and teachers from SDIT Al-Azhar Darul Jannah and SD Negeri 04 Birugo as key informants. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis with source triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that both schools implement inclusive education through five key management dimensions: student identification and assessment, educator adaptation, curriculum modification using Individualized Learning Programs and Universal Design for Learning, flexible evaluation systems, and partial adjustment of infrastructure. Despite these efforts, major constraints include limited specialized human resources, inadequate facilities, and low parental involvement. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating how adaptive school management strategies can sustain inclusive practices in resource-constrained settings, highlighting the importance of collaborative governance and capacity building for improving inclusive education outcomes.

Abstract

Public interest in enrolling children in primary schools is an important indicator of the attractiveness of public educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing the enrollment interest of new students at SD Negeri 9 Banda Aceh, which has experienced fluctuating applicant numbers and remained below its enrollment capacity in recent years. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving the school principal, vice principal for student affairs, and parents of prospective students selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using SWOT analysis to identify internal and external factors affecting the school. The findings indicate that supporting factors include an adequate number of teachers, teacher competence, a conducive school environment, the use of learning technology, and information dissemination through social media and communication with parents. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors consist of limited facilities and infrastructure, the absence of flagship school programs, limited promotional funding, and competition with schools that have better facilities and stronger reputations. This study concludes that increasing new student enrollment interest requires strengthening internal school quality and implementing more planned and collaborative promotional strategies.

Abstract

Sustaining students’ achievement in Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur’an (MTQ) competitions is a strategic challenge for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) seeking to maintain educational excellence and institutional competitiveness. Although previous studies have examined strategic management in Islamic educational institutions, limited attention has been given to how pesantren systematically develop and sustain Qur’anic achievement through an integrated management approach. This study aims to develop a pesantren-based strategic management model for sustaining students’ success in MTQ competitions at Pondok Pesantren Walisongo Cukir, Jombang, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving pesantren leaders, MTQ coaches, administrators, and students. Data were analyzed using an interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with trustworthiness ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that sustainable MTQ achievement is shaped by four interrelated strategic processes: environmental analysis, strategic formulation, strategy implementation, and continuous evaluation. These processes are operationalized through systematic talent identification, value-based program design, intensive Qur’anic coaching, collaborative leadership, and continuous performance monitoring. The study proposes a pesantren-based strategic management model integrating institutional values, leadership commitment, talent development, and continuous improvement. This model extends strategic management theory into pesantren-based excellence development and provides practical guidance for sustaining student achievement in religious competitions

Abstract

This study examines the academic quality assurance model implemented at Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya (UNUSA) and its impact on the institution's competitive advantage. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with university leaders, quality assurance officers, and faculty members, supplemented by document analysis and observation. The research applies Total Quality Management (TQM) theory and Porter's Competitive Advantage framework, integrated with the Islamic values of Ahlussunnah Wal Jama'ah An-Nahdliyah (Aswaja). Findings reveal that UNUSA's quality assurance model operates through three interconnected dimensions: (1) academic quality policy grounded in the institution's vision, mission, and Aswaja values; (2) a systematic PPEPP cycle (Setting, Implementation, Evaluation, Control, and Improvement of Standards) that governs all academic processes; and (3) measurable impacts manifested in attaining 'Unggul' (Excellent) national accreditation from BAN-PT within only ten years of establishment, ranking first among all Nahdlatul Ulama universities in Indonesia, and entry into four international rankings including QS Asia University Rankings 2026. The study concludes that the integration of Islamic ideological values into a structured quality management system constitutes a distinctive and transferable model for faith-based higher education institutions seeking sustainable competitive advantage.

Abstract

Strategic management theory explains how organizations formulate, implement, and evaluate long-term direction, yet its application to value-based, non-bureaucratic religious institutions remains underdeveloped. This gap is acute in Indonesian pesantren, where sustained excellence in the Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur'an (MTQ) is studied mainly as a coaching outcome rather than a deliberate institutional strategy. This study examines strategic management at Pondok Pesantren Madrasatul Qur'an Tebuireng, Jombang, which has sustained national and international MTQ achievement. Using a qualitative single-case design, data came from twelve in-depth interviews, eighteen participant-observation sessions, and documents, analyzed through the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014) interactive model with source, method, and theory triangulation. Findings show environmental analysis relies on implicit, kiai-centered situational awareness rather than formal SWOT; strategy formulation combines rational planning with non-negotiable normative commitments; implementation is sustained by a layered competitive structure embedded in the lafdzan ma'nan 'amalan educational architecture; and evaluation combines a multilayered, technology-supported system with the kiai's normative oversight. The study proposes value-embedded strategic management (VESM), explaining how strategic effectiveness can be achieved through cultural and moral infrastructure rather than formal bureaucratic mechanisms. It extends Mintzberg's emergent-strategy thesis and complements Wheelen-Hunger's rational planning model, with implications for pesantren leaders, MTQ policymakers, and faith-based institutional management research

Abstract

Although Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are widely recognized as guardians of classical Islamic scholarship, literacy is often treated as an incidental by-product of kitab kuning recitation rather than a deliberately managed curricular outcome. This study analyzes how curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation operate as an integrated management cycle for strengthening santri literacy at Pondok Pesantren Queen Al-Falah, Ploso, Kediri, East Java. Using a qualitative case study design, the study involved pesantren leaders, senior teachers, curriculum coordinators, and santri selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, then analyzed inductively using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s data condensation, display, and conclusion procedures. Credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability were strengthened through triangulation, member checking, and prolonged engagement. The findings indicate that curriculum design integrates religious, formal, and Qur’anic education through three educational pathways, positions literacy as an explicit cultural value, and accommodates diverse santri competence levels. Implementation translates this design into literacy-based pedagogy, co-curricular and extracurricular activities, daily habituation, intensive teacher and senior-student mentoring, and a supportive literacy environment. Evaluation combines teacher assessment, specialized review teams, integrated academic testing, leadership-level curriculum committees, and participatory feedback. The study contributes a context-sensitive model of integrative curriculum management that strengthens literacy while preserving pesantren’s distinctive religious identity

Abstract

In the current era of educational disruption, Islamic educational institutions face increasingly intense competition. Ideally, a madrasah should serve not only as a center for the transmission of religious knowledge but also as a highly competitive institution. This study aims to explore and analyze the construction of corporate culture and the role of visionary leadership as drivers of customer interest in education at MTsN 2 Tulungagung. Using a mixed-methods approach with a sequential exploratory design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with madrasah management and subsequently tested quantitatively through regression analysis in SPSS. The results show that visionary leadership plays a crucial role in strengthening organizational culture (significance = 0.006), accounting for 28.8% of its variance. Simultaneously, visionary leadership and corporate culture had a significant effect on customer interest (significance = 0.002), jointly explaining 39.7% of its variance. Qualitative findings reveal that internalizing the spirit of “Madrasahnya para Juara” (The Champions’ Madrasah) and integrating religious and professional values are the main foundations for building the institution’s reputation. Although visionary leadership shows a negative partial relationship, interpreted as reflecting strategic communication barriers, the synergy between the two variables remains a key driver of public trust. The study recommends strengthening public relations strategies to align leadership vision with public perceptions in order to sustain customer loyalty in education
