Abstract

Abstract: Islamic Education in Bawean Island Indonesia began since the arrival of Islam to the island during 16th century. Initially, Islamic education activities were carried out at places such as houses, musolla and mosques. At this early stage, Islamic education was yet a formal institution and was conducted individually. From its historical journey, Islamic education at Bawean Island has progressed to become a formal institution in the form of madrasah which united Islamic education with Indonesian national education.
