1. INTRODUCTION
Islamic educational institutions exist in the form of Islamic boarding schools, madrasas,
and other educational models, which are the basic capital and an integral part of Indonesia's
national education. Education in Islamic boarding schools is one of the educational models found
in Indonesia, with systems and management according to the character and culture of Islamic
boarding schools (Syaiful, 2015a). Quoted from the Islamic boarding school education
management book, according to Hadi Purnomo (2017), Islamic boarding schools or Islamic
boarding schools are Islamic educational institutions and the oldest tradition in Indonesia. Islamic
boarding schools are institutions that can be said to be a manifestation of the development process
of the national education system.
The success of an educational institution in carrying out all learning activities, including
Islamic educational institutions, is determined by several supporting factors. One of them is the
management carried out by these educational institutions, in this case, especially in Islamic
boarding schools (Susiyani, 2017). Islamic boarding school education management is
management in which it examines the management and planning of Islamic boarding schools in

implementation with the aim of empowering students and the community (Ariani, 2022). There
are still Islamic boarding schools whose management and planning are not well organized;
therefore, the management of Islamic boarding schools is needed.
Thus, it appears that the management of Islamic boarding schools is faced with internal and
external problems. This is a challenge for the leadership of Islamic boarding schools in the hope
that they will be able to produce prominent scholars again (Syaiful, 2015b). The high and low
quality of the educational process at Islamic boarding schools can be seen from how management
is controlled by the leadership of Islamic boarding schools as Islamic educational institutions
(Kurniawan, 2022). From an administrative perspective, the various Islamic boarding schools are
unique educational institutions and organizations. Islamic boarding schools, among others, have
religious leaders with special roles and powers who are often contradictory from a business
standpoint and not in line with the code of ethics (Asifudin, 2016). However, there are also Islamic
boarding schools that have successfully implemented modern management.
At present, the Islamic Boarding School has developed into an institution that combines the
Pondok and Islamic Boarding School systems, offering Islamic education and teaching with the
non-classical and classical systems expected by future scholars. On the other hand, students can
live in the provided huts, which makes learning more frequent and interaction more intense with
students' enthusiasm for learning. Islamic boarding schools, as a model of Islamic educational
institutions in Indonesia, have succeeded in overcoming various internal and external challenges.
Thus, many Islamic boarding schools have produced academics, national struggle figures,
politicians, journalists, businessmen, lawyers, and various other professions. Previous studies that
have been conducted by (Susiyani, 2017); (Rahman, 2016); (musolin, 2018); (Wangsadanureja,
2018); and (Khoiri, 2017) are related to Islamic boarding school education management. No one
has yet conducted research related to how the management of education in Islamic boarding
schools is related to the planning, organizing, and supervising carried out by the leaders of these
schools. So what is new in this research is the management of Islamic boarding schools with the
library research method.
Based on the background that has been presented, this article aims to describe the educational
management of Islamic boarding schools using the literary method. The description of pesantren
education management will help academics understand pesantren management. In addition,
pesantren managers will be helped to map the problems of pesantren management.
