Implementation of KH. Hasyim Asy’ari's Educational Concept in the Perspective of Jihad by Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

Education is a crucial factor in advancing a nation by enhancing its human resources. In Indonesia, the government prioritizes national education, including Islamic education, to nurture individuals who are intellectually capable, morally upright, and spiritually strong. The goal of national education, as outlined in Law No. 20 of 2003, is to develop students with integrity, independence, and a sense of democratic responsibility. Islamic education, especially through pesantren, plays a key role by emphasizing values such as character building, mutual cooperation, and a constructive understanding of jihad, focused on moral, social, and national progress. Historically, Indonesian scholars have used education to rally for independence, blending Islamic values with the principles of the nation. Today, pesantren and Islamic education adapt to modern challenges, fostering a balanced interpretation of Islamic values to contribute positively to society.

Central Government Political Intervention in the Implementation of Educational Autonomy in Indonesia

This article presents a critical analysis of the central government's political intervention in the administration of educational autonomy in Indonesia. In reference to developed countries, education is a fundamental commodity and a top priority for developing national potential in global competition. In democratic countries, it is imperative to manage the government and its related elements using a democratic system. In the context of education in Indonesia, as a democratic country, educational institutions should ideally have ample space to determine their direction in accordance with the needs and demands of the times within the framework of national educational goals. Therefore, the expectation is that the education system should be developed in a decentralized (autonomous) manner rather than centralized. However, in reality, the national education system law has become a political tool for the government to set centralized policies without considering regional situations and conditions. In this issue, the central government seems to enforce the implementation of all educational policy products, particularly in the curriculum sector. The findings of this study indicate that the national education curriculum has undergone 11 changes from 1947, 1952, 1964, 1968, 1975, 1984, 1994, 2004, 2006, 2013, and 2022 based on the central government's political policies. These curriculum changes have both positive and negative impacts on the improvement of education quality. The positive impact is that students acquire current knowledge in line with contemporary demands, while the negative impact is that teachers are confused in responding to these changes, which in turn lowers student achievement.

Ready to Learn: A Concept Analysis for the Intersection of Health and Education.

Since the inception of the National Education Goals in 1989, the United States has enacted policies focused on student readiness to learn, but there is no single or clear definition of ready to learn. Education quality and access are social determinants of health. However, students do not learn well if they are not healthy. This concept analysis explores the connection between health and education across multiple domains. Utilizing the Walker-Avant method, CINAHL, SCOPUS, and the Journal of School Nursing were searched for literature related to ready to learn. Definitions were synthesized from the literature, resulting in a concept of ready to learn encompassing health and thriving at individual, family, school, and community levels. Ready to learn is the result of multiple domains working synergistically to support health and thriving across the lifespan. School health practice improves with a robust understanding of this ready to learn model.
