Political Exploration and Islamic Education Methods in Indonesia: A Systematic Literature Review in the Perspective of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

This study aims to identify studies in the field of Islamic education politics, which then analyzes the role of the government in formulating Islamic education policies and methods to provide access to quality education from the perspective of the SDGs agenda. This research is a type of SLR methodology with a qualitative approach. We used index searches (SINTA, SCOPUS, DOAJ, Proceedings International) to select and evaluate by obtaining 21 books and 45 relevant article documents. The results of this study highlight that the political area of ​​Islamic education has boundaries that lead to curriculum policies, budgets, institutions, and the professionalism of educators. Then, to create an Islamic education method in achieving the SDGs agenda on quality education, the role of the government and educational institutions must prioritize seven main points, namely: ensuring fair access to education, eliminating discrimination, ensuring free education, increasing lifelong learning opportunities, increasing the fulfillment of the education budget, strengthening the professionalism of educators, and strengthening the development of character education. This study can be the basis for taking a strategy for Islamic education policy relevant to the socio-cultural context of the diverse Indonesian society. By prioritizing a holistic approach, Islamic education policy contributes to developing superior human resources and a sustainable modern society.
