Tantangan Madrasah Ibtidaiyah: Benteng Terakhir Melawan Sekularisme

Abstract

Madrasah Ibtidaiyah as the main pillar of Islamic education is the most basic these days in facing both internal and external challenges. In addition to the challenge of maintaining self-existence in order to be able to compete with other institutions, there is also the problem of the rise of secular values that are included in the national education curriculum. This needs to be answered so that Madrasah Ibtidaiyah remains upright as a stronghold of religion and the state from the invasion of ideas that endanger the lives of the people and the state. The battle of civilizations will indeed continue throughout the ages. The problem is the opinion of an Islamic leader, namely Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib, good that is not organized or well managed will be defeated by crimes that are committed massively and in a structured manner that are well managed. And this is happening today in our time. Will Madrasah Ibtidaiyah as the last bastion be able to survive the onslaught of the evil thoughts of secularism or will it collapse? This article will answer it.
