Banda Aceh, MINA – Government of Aceh through Dayah Education Office will provide vocational education in pesantren (Islamic Boarding School) to equip students with skills.

“With this vocational education, the students have skills after completing their education at dayah or pesantren,” said Usamah.

“In Aceh, there are 1,136 dayahs accredited with the number of students reaching 16,200 people. With this number, the availability of teachers is sufficient and adequate,” Usamah El-Madny said.

Osama said that Aceh Government paid the same attention as dayah education and public schools because both of them were educational institutions that gave birth to quality Acehnese generations.

He said, with the existence of pesantren law and Qanun Aceh No. 9 of 2018 concerning dayah education, it became a constitutional obligation for Aceh Government to advance dayah education. (T/Sj/P2)
