Pesantren
or Pondok Pesantren are Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia.
According to one popular tradition, the pesantren education
system originated from traditional Javanese pondokan;
dormitories; ashram for Hindu or viharas
for Buddhists to learn religious philosophies, martial
arts and meditation. Institutions much like them are found
across the Islamic world and are called pondok in Malaysia
and Southern Thailand and madrasa Islamia (Islamic madrasa) in India
and Pakistan and much of the Arabic speaking world. Pesantren aim
to deepen knowledge of the Koran, particularly through the
study of Arabic, traditions of exegesis,
the Sayings
of the Prophet, law and logic. The term pesantren derives
from the root word santri or student -- pe-santri-an or
the place of the santri[1]As social institutions, pesantren have played a major role over the centuries. They emphasise cores values of sincerity, simplicity, individual autonomy, solidarity and self-control. Young men and women are separated from their families, which contributes to a sense of individual commitment to the faith and close bonding to a teacher.[2][3]
