Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of Islamic education management at Pondok Pesantren Diniyah Tanjung Barulak, Tanah Datar Regency, in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective is to evaluate the applied management model during the crisis, identify its strengths and weaknesses, and formulate strategic recommendations to enhance the institutional resilience of pesantren-based education in facing similar future challenges. Employing a qualitative research method with a case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. Informants included the pesantren leadership, education managers, teachers, students, parents, and health workers involved in the pandemic response within the pesantren environment. The findings reveal that the educational management at Pondok Pesantren Diniyah Tanjung Barulak tended to be reactive, with limited long-term strategic planning, particularly in crisis mitigation and the utilisation of information technology. The lack of digital infrastructure posed a significant obstacle to implementing effective distance learning. However, the pesantren’s cultural values and strong sense of communal solidarity emerged as key strengths that sustained educational continuity. This study contributes a conceptual model of community-based crisis management as an alternative strategy for adaptive and resilient Islamic educational governance in the context of public health emergencies. The proposed model offers practical insights and policy implications that may serve as a reference for other pesantren aiming to design more robust and responsive management systems amidst global uncertainties.
