1. PENDAHULUAN
Islamic boarding schools as one of the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia
will still be interesting to study and re-examine. Islamic boarding schools are Islamic educational
institutions that have their own characteristics and are different from other educational institutions,
also containing the meaning of cultural authenticity in Indonesia (indigenous) from a historical
perspective. It is estimated that Islamic boarding schools in Java were around 300 Islamic boarding
schools throughout the 1860s. (Fitri Meliani et al., 2022) Islamic boarding schools are the oldest
form of indigenous institution in Indonesia, even older than the Republic of Indonesia. Until now,
the Islamic boarding school system is still used as an educational institution to form character which
is considered very effective. Although currently Islamic boarding schools have a new face amidst
advances in science and technology (IPTEK) which continue to increase very rapidly. (Pramono Hadi
Saputra, 2014)
Pesantren as an educational institution system is expected to be able to give birth to a
generation that is intellectually, emotionally and spiritually intelligent. (Ahmad et al., n.d.) However,
recently there has been a lot of discussion about the many acts of verbal and non-verbal violence
within the education unit environment, even education based on boarding school. Data from the
Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPPA) quoted by Kompas
explains that there were 797 children throughout January 2022 and similar news also explains that
as many as 117 students were victims of sexual violence that occurred at various levels of education
throughout 2022 (Mutia Fauzia, 2022 ) based on records of the Federation of Indonesian Teachers'
Unions (FSGI). Chair of the FSGI expert council, Retno, provided data on cases of sexual violence
at each level, including 6 cases at Islamic boarding schools, 2 cases at senior high school (SMA),
then at junior high school (SMP) there were 3 cases, and there were 2 cases that occurred at the
elementary school (SD) (Ayo Putranto, 2023).
Therefore, the author has taken the initiative to raise the title Islamic boarding school that is
santri-friendly from the perspective of K.H Ahmad Dahlan's thoughts, based on the busy news
circulating among the public which is not pleasant to the ear. Indeed, many researchers have raised
similar titles. One of them: The phenomenon of bullying among students in Islamic boarding schools
was compiled by Muhammad Agus Wahyudi. This research produced four themes including;
participants try to protect themselves, participants experience helplessness, participants report to
parents and coaches, and participants avoid it. (Aulia Ananda Putri A et al., 2021). Implementation
of a Child Friendly School at SMAN 3 Makassar by Ratna, Supriadi Torro. This research resulted in
the implementation of child-friendly schools, namely with a friendly attitude towards children, childfriendly learning processes, educators and education staff trained in children's rights, child
participation, and having SOPs for complaints and knowing the supporting and inhibiting factors for
implementing child-friendly schools at SMAN 3 Makassar (Ratna, n.d.). There is also other research,
