The increasing urgency of mastering Arabic as a key to understanding Islamic scholarly sources highlights the importance of effective management of learning programs in Islamic boarding schools. This study aims to analyze the implementation of management functions in the Arabic language development program at LPBA MUBA, including planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, as well as their integration with Islamic boarding school values. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The subjects include administrators, tutors and students. Data were collected through non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that management functions are implemented in an integrated and systematic manner. Planning is based on clear vision, mission, and task division; organizing is supported by a functional and participatory structure; implementation is conducted in stages with various learning methods; and evaluation is carried out continuously for quality control.

The implementation of national education policies at the school level often encounters challenges due to differences in institutional capacity, infrastructure availability, and local educational contexts. This study aims to analyze the integration of national education policies with educational practices at MI Al Hidayah II Kota Kediri using four key indicators: quality, quantity, effectiveness, and efficiency. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through field observations, informal interviews, and document analysis of national education policies such as the National Education Standards and the Merdeka Curriculum. The findings reveal that in terms of quality, the school has implemented the Merdeka Curriculum and achieved several non-academic accomplishments, although facilities remain limited, including the absence of a library, suboptimal classrooms, and limited learning media. In terms of quantity, the school operates one study group with 75 students across six grade levels and collaborates with the Ar-Risalah Orphanage to improve access to education. In terms of effectiveness, student and teacher attendance is well maintained, flagship programs such as dhuha prayer and BTQ are consistently implemented, and a substitute teacher system is applied when teachers are absent. In terms of efficiency, the school optimizes its limited resources through external partnerships, particularly with the local health center and orphanage. This study concludes that the integration of national education policies has been implemented sufficiently well. The findings contribute to providing empirical insights into how Islamic elementary schools adapt national education policies within resource-limited contexts and may serve as a practical reference for policymakers and school managers in strengthening policy implementation at the primary education level.

Educational quality evaluation is an important aspect in ensuring the sustainability of school quality improvement. This study aims to analyze the implementation of educational quality evaluation at SDIT Safira Green School, particularly in the formulation of quality indicators, achievement monitoring, gap analysis, root cause analysis, and follow-up improvement. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, interviews with the principal and teachers, and documentation studies of school quality documents. The findings show that quality indicators have been formulated participatively by referring to the school’s vision, mission, and educational standards. Achievement monitoring is carried out through examination results, daily assessments, classroom observations, and evaluation meetings, although it has not yet been organized into a formal performance matrix containing baselines and targets. Gap analysis and root cause analysis have been conducted through discussions, the 5 Why technique, and fishbone analysis, but they have not been systematically documented. Follow-up improvement has been implemented through action plans, teacher training, and learning method adjustments, while its monitoring still needs to be strengthened.
