Pesantren Independence, Pesantren Governance, Development StrategyAbstract
The independence of pesantren has long constituted a fundamental value at the core of the pesantren movement since the colonial era; however, its development has faced numerous structural and cultural pressures that threaten its institutional autonomy. This study aims to comprehensively identify the concept of pesantren institutional independence, analyze the urgency of strengthening such independence in the context of current regulations and contemporary challenges, and formulate strengthening strategies that can be implemented systematically. The method employed is library research with a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, integrating primary and secondary sources including classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning), national regulations, scientific journals, and institutional reports. The findings indicate that pesantren independence encompasses three main dimensions: theological-cultural independence, institutional governance independence, and economic independence. The urgency for its strengthening is driven by internal factors, namely the degradation of independence values due to reliance on external subsidies, and external factors, namely the currents of national curriculum homogenization that potentially reduce pesantren distinctiveness. Strengthening strategies include the development of pesantren economies based on productive business units, revitalization of independence values in the curriculum, and strengthening governance based on transparency and accountability. This study affirms that independence is not merely a traditional heritage but a strategic imperative for the sustainability of pesantren as an authentic and relevant Islamic educational institution.
