General chairman of the Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) KH Hasyim Muzadi said that the government efforts to allocate education to private and state schools had so far remained unfair.
Hasyim also said that Islamic-based political parties whose authority to pass the state budget (APBN) and regional budget (APBD) had not fully struggled for education budget especially for private schools.<>
"The (private) schools must not be changed into state ones but they should be given assistance fairly," Hasyim told NU Online recently, adding that NU as a religious social organization had fully worked in the grassroot level and NU was in charge of allocating the education budget.
He cited that the process to establish state Islamic schools (madrassa) would have positive and negative impacts in dealing with curriculum, saying if there were no curriculum changes there would be a benefit and if there were curriculum changes there would possibly be a detriment.
"Eventually we will focus more on building rather than subject matter," the leader of Al Hikam Islamic boarding school (pesantren) said.
Efforts to increase education quality within NU community have always been taken even there have been some Islamic schools implementing international standard, say that Khadijah school in Surabaya. (mkf)
