Strategi Implementasi Pengarusutamaan Gender Bidang Pendidikan Islam

Islam encourages Moslems to seek for knowledge regardless the area boundary, age, and field of interest. However, the Islamic education in Indonesia has not been able to facilitate men and women to obtain equal education. This gender gap is found in the policy, management, and teaching institutions of Islamic education. This has an impact on learner output, his/her roles and responsibilities in society. Although the President Instruction No. 9/2000, which fore runs the implementation of gender mainstreaming in national development, has been implemented more than a decade, the policy is neither fully understood nor well implemented especially in the field of Islamic education.
