Governments are weak at promoting and endorsing their gains and programmes. Taking Uganda in context, this paper explored the current tools for public tax awareness on Domestic Revenue Mobilisation (DRM), an oft-neglected area yet crucial for tax revenue generation. The note overviewed the DRM initiatives and the public tax awareness programmes in place to promote them. Using content analysis, the inquiry noted gaps in the planning of public tax awareness initiatives, which inf luences the execution, impact and appraisal of the campaigns, which in turn, affects the uptake of DRM initiatives. It calls for government accountability where all government agencies use public tax awareness tools to account for their plans and gains. It furthermore requires not leaving accountability to the finance ministry and the tax agency. Highlighting successful government programmes courtesy of tax revenue motivates citizens aboard DRM. This paper therefore averred that concerted government public relations will motivate citizenry participation and support for DRM.

Ali Bin Abi Talib once said that children should be educated in accordance with the  development of the times. The Ali bin Abi Talib’s statement could be considered as his attention more to the development of human civilization. For that reason, there should be studies focused on the role of educational institutions in facing the challenges of the times. On this stand, the writer raises the existence of pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) for being considered to have been able to survive amid the onslaught of civilization increasingly obscuring cultural identity. In addition, this study also aims to identify and discuss the role of pesantren in the modern era. This is a literature study using a descriptive and exploratory approach. It can be concluded that pesantren are non-formal Islamic educational institutions. Pesantren have permanent and distictive methods and learning models. The purpose of pesantren education is the same as Islamic education in general, instilling a sense of virtue, familiarizing themselves with courtesy, preparing for a holy, sincere and honest life entirely. Pesantren could be seen from three aspects: (a) pesantren that are seen from facilities and infrastructures, (b) pesantren that are seen from disciplines taught, and (c) pesantren that are seen from the fields of knowledge.
