Penekanan pada hafalan juz amma

Alhamdulillah, sekitar sebulan sekolah mulai berjalan, sudah banyak kemajuan yang dicapai. Terutama pada hafalan juz amma. Sampai saat tulisan ini dibuat, rata-rata siswa sudah hafal 20 ayat dari surat An Naba.

Dengan segala keterbatasan yang kami miliki, kami berupaya menjaga amanah orang tua yang telah menitipkan anak-anaknya untuk kami didik di sekolah ini. Sekuat tenaga akan kami jaga amanah itu.

Kami sadar, dengan umur yang baru sebulan ini, masih banyak hal 2 yang belum bisa kami lakukan. Untuk itu kami memerlukan dorongan dan support dari orang tua, dewan guru, yayasan, dan semua pihak yang memungkinkan dan peduli terhadap pendidikan islam bagi anak-anak.

International Symposium on the Future of Indonesia’s Islamic Education

Over 150 scholars, officials, teachers and international donors will work together over the next two days in Jakarta to develop strategies to “bridge the gap” between Islamic and general schools in Indonesia.

The International Symposium on Islamic Education was today opened by Ministry of Religious Affairs Secretary General, Professor Bahrul Hayat, and Australian Ambassador to Indonesia, Bill Farmer, at Jakarta’s UIN Syarif Hidayatullah.

Professor Hayat said he hoped the symposium would generate a number of practical ways to “help bridge the gap between Islamic schools and general schools in Indonesia”. He said the forum would bring together a number of qualified Indonesian and international scholars to share their experiences and their ideas for taking Islamic education forward.

Issues to be discussed include ways to improve the quality of teaching and learning in Islamic schools and the role of Islamic schooling in the Indonesian Government’s plan for national education.

Another focus issue is how to implement the Grand Design for Nine Years of Basic Education in Indonesia, a strategy prepared jointly by the Ministry of National Education and Ministry of Religious Affairs earlier this year, and the potential progress to be achieved under the strategy by 2025.

Mr Farmer said he hoped the symposium would help stimulate real debate among officials, practitioners, scholars and donors on how to better shape and strengthen the Islamic education system.

“These issues are critical for Indonesia’s future, given the important role Islamic schools play in this country,” Mr Farmer said.

The Grand Design notes that Islamic schools provide basic education to more than 20 per cent of Indonesian children and more than 25 per cent of women. The largely autonomous network of Islamic schools is the longest existing education system in Indonesia.

The 24-25 July symposium is a joint initiative of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Australian Government, through its international development agency, AusAID.
The event - the Basic Education in Islamic Schools in Indonesia: Bridging the Gap – Vision 2025 Symposium - is being funded under a five-year A$30 million (IDR 225 billion) Australian Government program (LAPIS), which aims to improve the quality of basic Islamic education in Indonesia.
