Proceeding International Conference on Religion, Science and Education, 2023
The purpose of this study is to examine religious tolerance in educational institutions from the perspective of John Locke. The main question that guides this research is: how to create religious tolerance in educational institutions in Indonesia? Using an objective historical approach to John Locke's thoughts, the author will review the issue of equality and freedom of religion in Indonesian educational institutions. The main results of this study state that there are still several facts of intolerance in educational institutions in Indonesia. Moreover, political forces deliberately maintain intolerance in educational institutions for the continuity of political power. Politicians exploit social differences as a means of attaining political populism. Thus to avoid intolerance in educational institutions, there must be a strict separation between political power and religion. Religion must be encouraged in the private sphere. Likewise, with religious attributes that should be private, their interests are accommodated in an educational institution within the limits of respecting freedom and equality. Thus, any regional regulations in the form of uniformity according to certain religious symbols must be repositioned because it is not in the spirit of togetherness and diversity.

Religious education in Indonesia
The Routledge International Handbook of Religious Education, 2006

Science and religion are separately understood, and they have lost their connection in ontology, epistemology, and axiology point of views. Therefore, people are in the "lost state", religion is mistakenly understood. This study is aimed at finding the reasons why religion is misunderstood, the effects of the misunderstanding, and the concepts of religion-based integral education as the effort to solve the misunderstanding. Then, this study is focused on the epistemology of science, therefore the object of the study is human thought. Conceptual, philosophy, and religion approaches is used in the study. The data in this study are sociologist and normative sources. Meanwhile, the data analysis is abduction method. The result of the study shows that science tends to be positive in understanding something which is real and logical, things which are not logical are not considered as science. The secularism concept of science has gone wrong because science can be only understood to manage human life and despise the beyond. Lack of science understanding affects serious and harmful effects. Science may lose its purpose in helping human, the highest and the most capable God's creature. Integrating science based on religion may affect peacefulness in the world and beyond. The imperfection in science is temporary, it can be fixed by knowledge which is absolute.

Iksan Kamil Sahri's Perspective on Dualism of the Education System in Indonesia
Devotion Journal of Community Service, 2023
This study discusses the dualism of the education system in Indonesia from the perspective of Iksan Kamil Sahri, a pesantren anthropologist and one of the most productive young scholars. He explained the massification of pesantren, such as the institutionalization of pesantren, which is firmly rooted amid society with various challenges. In collecting data, this study uses library research with qualitative methods emphasizing meaning through a qualitative naturalistic approach using content analysis. The final result of this study states that the educational dualism that occurs creates a value crisis in human civilization that considers science to be value-free, so the impact of scholastic duality is the decline of Islamic educational institutions that do not emphasize mastery of empirical knowledge, even though in terms of morality it can maintain the value system and scientific disciplines classical science. Meanwhile, public educational institutions emphasizing practical knowledge are very fragile regarding religious knowledge. In addition, the disparity stated by Iksan Kamil Sahri between pesantren and general education, which is managed differently by the two ministries in Indonesia, is due to the different educational objectives that exist between the two. Pesantren education aims to make graduates religious experts, while national education in Indonesia aims to produce graduates who meet industry standards to be ready for work.
