Keywords:
Islamic education, Southeast Asia, political strategies, regional collaboration, educational policyAbstract
This study aims to analyze the political strategies of Southeast Asian countries in developing Islamic education and explore the potential for regional collaboration to enhance educational outcomes. Islamic education in Southeast Asia is shaped by complex political, social, and cultural factors, leading to challenges in developing an effective and cohesive education system. This research used a comparative analysis of case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, focusing on policy frameworks, implementation challenges, and opportunities for synergy. The findings indicate that although each country has developed unique approaches to Islamic education, there are shared challenges that can be addressed through a coordinated regional strategy. Regional collaboration has the potential to improve the effectiveness of the Islamic education system in the region. Coordinated regional strategies and increased collaboration among Southeast Asian countries are essential to address common challenges and create a more cohesive and effective educational environment.
