The Ministry of Religious Affairs has published guidelines on the protection of santri, placing the responsibility for their security on the pesantren institutions rather than on the children.

The police express concern and will evaluate the search at Hamalatul Quran Ponpes in Sukoharjo, which has been accused of intimidating female students. The legal process continues.

Minister Nasaruddin Umar stresses the importance of protecting students from violence and harassment in boarding schools, reinforced by Law 18/2019 for a safe and dignified environment.

President Prabowo delivers aid to the Darussalam Gontor Islamic Boarding School in Ponorogo, East Java, through the Deputy Minister of the Cabinet Secretariat.

Pesantren should be a launching pad for the future of santri, not a limit that determines how far they can dream.
