Management Model of Kitab Kuning Reading Acceleration Program at Mambaul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Bira Timur Sampang

The management carried out resulted in something extraordinary, where students who were still on average 7-12 years old managed to take part in the acceleration program for mastering the kitab kuning and master a series of other Islamic disciplines in just 2 years.
