The Role of Islamic Educational Institution Management in Promoting Sustainable Education in the Modern Era

Abstract

Islamic education plays a crucial role in shaping human character by integrating intellectual development with moral and spiritual values. In the current era of rapid globalization and digital transformation, Islamic educational institutions face the challenge of maintaining their spiritual identity while responding to modern educational demands. Therefore, effective and value-based management is urgently needed to ensure that Islamic education remains relevant, competitive, and sustainable. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic educational management in promoting sustainable education in the modern era. Using a qualitative approach through library research, this study reviews primary, secondary, and tertiary sources related to Islamic education management, sustainability concepts, and contemporary educational challenges. Data were analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal four major themes that serve as the foundation of sustainable Islamic educational management: (1) the integration of Islamic values into strategic planning, which guides the vision and policy direction of institutions; (2) the development of professional and spiritually grounded human resources; (3) the optimization of digital technology to enhance managerial efficiency and learning quality; and (4) continuous quality evaluation as a mechanism for ongoing institutional improvement. The study concludes that sustainable Islamic educational management requires a synergy between tawhid-based values and modern managerial strategies to ensure institutional resilience and long-term relevance.
