Abstract

Politicall_y, educational position of madrasah (Islamic institution of learn­in_g) has been relativel_y powerful althou_gh its function is complementary to school education. However, problematic complexities faced b_y the madrasah nowadays still needs a lon_g political stru_ggle to make madrasah capable of runnin_g its function well and also keepin_g itself as a rela­tivel_y ori_ginal native reli_gious institution constructed b_y lon_g historic struggle of the moslem communit_y. It is necessary for both madrasah and _government as its protector to be aware of not onl_y for the benefit of madrasah itself and a feelin_g of regret if madrasah should be disap­peared, but also to _guarantee the availabilit_y of educated and competi­tive human resources of the madrasah at both the national and interna­tional level. By using politico-historical perspective, this article tries to unpack and explicate what and how Madrasah as the reli_gious-educa­tion institution in Indonesia.
