This article aims to analyse the Indonesian State’s laws regarding models of religious education, by evaluating Law No. 20/2003, concerning the national system of education and other related laws. Two questions are highlighted: What type of religious education is favoured by Indonesian state? Does the preference for a certain type of religious education reflect a specific vision of the state-religion relationship? Our data consisted of two sources: the State’s law on national education system, Law No. 20/2003, and the minutes of the Indonesian parliament meeting approving the law. We found that Law No. 20/2003 expresses the preference of the government for a mono-religious model. Indonesia is categoreized as having preferred treatment for some religions or support for a particular religious tradition. This categorisation is confirmed by the results of our research findings indicated by the preferential treatment delivered by the State, and the State’s legislation and regulations on religion.[Tulisan ini menganalisis legislasi negara terhadap pendidikan agama dengan cara mengevaluasi UU No. 20/2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional beserta perundang-undangan terkait lainnya. Dua pertanyaan berusaha untuk dijawab dalam tulisan ini, yaitu: Model pendidikan agama yang bagaimana yang menjadi preferensi negara? Apakah preferensi tersebut merefleksikan visi negara terhadap model relasi negara-agama tertentu? Tulisan ini merujuk kepada dua data utama, yaitu: UU No. 20/2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional serta Risalah Rapat Paripurna ke-35 DPR RI tahun 2003 yang mengesahkan UU No. 20/2003. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa UU Sistem Pendidikan Nasional merefleksikan preferensi negara terhadap model pendidikan agama mono-relijius. Model pendidikan mono-religius ini merefleksikan preferensi negara terhadap model relasi negara-agama preferensial; negara mengakui lebih dari satu agama resmi dan memberi dukungan kepada institusi-institusinya, yang direfleksikan melalui legislasi dan peraturan terkait agama.]

Study of literature by focusing on terms of peeling, summarizing and collecting a literature, then the authors provide an analysis of the data that has been collected. The results showed that during the pre-independence era religious education was not only not recognized but also not included in the education system, it was even suspected of being a place to incite and fight the invaders. At the time of independence it did not yet have a role because the government still tended to be controlled by nationalist and secular groups, if there were Islamic groups, Islam was still more abangan. Thus the New Order government continuously fostered the quality of madrasa education so that in 1975 a joint decree (SKB) was issued by three ministers on Improving the Quality of Education in Madrasas, where the SKB of the three ministers had advantages and disadvantages. So that the solution of this weakness is the government is trying to make breakthroughs to restore the function of the madrasa as a place to print religious leaders, namely by opening an alternative Madrasah Aliyah named Madrasah Aliyah Special Program (MAPK).

Studies on religious education teacher’s competences in Aceh could not be separated from studies on state’s intervention toward education. State hegemony occurs in the form of regulation formalization which regulates efforts for improving qualification and competence of teachers. The research showed that the presence of Act No. 14, 2005 and the Government Regulation No. 74, 2008 had been used as legal reference to encourage the improvement of Aceh religious education teachers’ qualification and competence. This is a qualitative study in which triangulation in data collection was used. The data was then collected through documentations, observations, and deep interviews. This work emphasizes that improving teachers’ competences in Islamic education system in Aceh was in accordance to and did not contradict with national education system and moreover strengthen the content of Act No. 14, 1005 and Government Regulation No. 74, 2008. Qualification and competence of religious education teachers in Aceh underwent improvement better than previous term. However, teachers experienced that socialization process and implementation of regulation has yet to receive upmost attention. The study also suggests that religious education teachers’ qualifications and competences will significantly contribute to the development of religious education quality, thus Islamic education transforms intently in national and state relations order.

The fall of the New Order regime in May 1998 has brought about remarkable political shifts in the Indonesian government. A large number of laws and regulations were enacted during the first five years after the retirement of President Suharto, which indicates a serious attempt to change the political orientation of the State. Yusuf and Sterkens (2015) have investigated that more than 200 laws were enacted by Parliament during the first five years after the retirement of President Suharto. This also happens with laws on education, for instance Law No. 20/2003. Parliament’s approval on 20 June 2003 of Law No. 20/2003 concerning the national education system has raised many questions, specifically with regard to the aim of national education. The National Education, according to Law No. 20/2003, aims to develop students who have strong religious commitment (faithfulness) and religious devotion (piousness) to their own religion.

Discourse on Islamic education will never be separated from the political and cultural dynamics of a society. In the Indonesian context, the dynamics of Islamic education cannot be separated even shackled by the country's political policies and community pluralism which is a reality in Indonesia, both before independence until post-independence Indonesia. Since the first half of the 19th century, the history of Islamic education in Indonesia has begun a new phase marked by shifts and changes in almost all aspects including institutions, methods, curriculum and Islamic education orientation. At that time Islamic education was dominated by traditional educational institutions, namely boarding schools. Islamic education is an integral part of the National Education System. As part of the national education system, Islamic education gets legitimacy for sexuality and has a place to live and develop in Indonesia to meet the educational needs of the Islamic community as a majority citizen. State accommodation for the Islamic education system makes Islamic education systems and institutions have a strong foundation to be developed by supporting funds and attention from the state. Therefore, the state is obliged to develop an Islamic education system as one of the types of religious education in the national education system.

Pendekatan sejarah dan politik digunakan demi pemahaman kemunculan kebijakan madrasah dalam sejarah Indonesia. Pendekatan ini dipercaya mampu memetakan hubungan antara politik dan kelahiran pendidikan madrasah. Dalam masa awal pembentukan, pendidikan madrasah tidak diakui oleh Belanda dalam masa pemerintahannya sebagai penjajah di Indonesia. Ini menghasilkan kurangnya aspirasi keagamaan dan pendidikan kaum Muslim terhadap pemerintahan Belanda. Kebijakan yang menentang madrasah mulai berubah dalam masa penjajahan Jepang yang memungkinkan kaum Muslim untuk berekspresi secara politik. Dalam era memasuki kemerdekaan, periode yang mengakomodasi ruang politik muncul dengan menyuarakan kaum Muslim, dengan bukti pembentukan Menteri Agama pada tanggal 3 Januari, 1946. Di masa inilah madrasah secara penuh dipayungi oleh kementerian agama. Hingga kini, madrasah dan pesantren belum diakui dalam sistem pedidikan nasional. Situasi ini berlangsung hingga tahun 1960an. Sejalannnya dengan masa orde baru, pihak pemerintah bersikap akomodatif terhadap aspirasi umat Islam, yang secara spesifik berhubungan dengan pendidikan. Maka dari itu pendidikan madrasah mulai masuk dan terintegrasi menjadi sistem pendidikan nasional. Pembentukan SKB Tiga Menteri pada tahun 1975 (kementerian agama, kementerian pendidikan dan kebudayaan, dan kementerian dalam negeri) dan pasal no. 2 tahun 1989 yang menyangkut sistem pendidikan nasional, mampu dilihat sebagai sebuah proses integrasi tahap awal. Madrasah adalah sekolah umum yang bersifat keislaman yang dibentuk oleh Kementerian Agama. Perihal ini berlangsung sampai terbentuknya pasal no. 20 tahun 2003 yang menyangkut sistem pendidikan nasional. Dalam periode ini, pendidikan madrasah dan sekolah umum memiliki level derajat yang sama. Historical and political approaches were used to understand the birth of the madrasah’s policy in throughout Indonesia’s history . These approaches were considered to be able to map the relationship between politics and the birth of madrasah education policy. In the early period, when the nation was controlled by the Dutch colonial government, madrasah education was not included in the Dutch educational system. This was a result of the lack of fulfillment of religious and educational aspirations of Muslims by the Dutch government. Policy against madrasah began to change during the Japanese occupation where Islam began to gain a space for political expression. Entering post-independence, a political period known as the political accommodation emerged as the nation provided enough space for Islam to existed, marked by the establishment of the Ministry of Religious Affairs on January 3rd, 1946. This was when madrasah fell under the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Until this point, madrasah and pesantren were not included in the national education system. This situation continued until the 1960s. During the New Order Regime, the government was very accommodative to Muslim aspirations, in particular those related to Islamic education. Thus madrasah education entered and was integrated into the national education system. The birth of SKB Tiga Menteri (Three Ministers decree) on 1975 (Minister of Religious Affairs, Minister of Education and Culture, and the Ministry of Home Affairs) and Law No. 2 Year 1989 concerning the national education system could be seen as the early integration of madrasah into the national education system. Madrasah is a public school distinctively of Islamic religion held by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. It was like this until the birth of Law No. 20 Year 2003 concering the National Education System. In this period, madrasah education is equivalent to education in public schools.
