Competitiveness Introduction Islamic boarding schools are the oldest Islamic educational institutions developed by Indonesian society (Sakir, 2. In principle. Islamic boarding schools are a cultural product of the Indonesian Islamic community which is fully aware of the importance of education for native people who grow naturally (Muhajir, 2. Regardless of where the tradition and system is adopted, it will not affect the unique . pattern that has taken root and lives International Journal of Islamic Though and Humanities. Vol. 2 No. 02 September 2023 and develops in society to this day (Wulandari, 2. Basically. Islamic boarding school is a traditional Islamic educational dormitory where students live together and study under the guidance of one . r mor. teachers who are better known as "Kyai". Pesantren is the oldest Islamic educational institution in Indonesia (Masturaini, 2. The existence of Islamic boarding schools as the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, has grown and developed since the time of the spread of Islam and has played a large role in educating people's lives (Mochtar, 2. It is hoped that Islamic boarding schools are not only capable of developing the Islamic personality of Muslims, but are also capable of bringing about social change and improvement. The influence of an Islamic boarding school is very positive if its alumni have returned to society by bringing various changes and improvements to the lives of the surrounding community (Iskandar, 2. The presence of modern Islamic boarding schools cannot be separated from initiatives coming from various Islamic circles in the country. Ideas for establishing a new model of Islamic boarding school that are development-oriented do not only come from regional governments (Governor and Regen. The initial idea of establishing a new model of Islamic boarding school emerged from the time the Ministry of Religion was led by Mukti Ali in the 70s until well into the 80s These ideas continued (Abizar, 2. As an educational institution in the form of an Islamic boarding school, whether it still carries a traditional or modern style, good management is required (Rizkiani, 1. The continuity of an Islamic boarding school's journey as an educational institution really depends on the Islamic boarding school management system that is run. So of course the management system implemented will also have implications for all activities of the Islamic boarding school itself (Asmuki & Aluf, 2. This shows that whether or not the education implemented in an Islamic boarding school is implemented depends on the management system built by the Islamic boarding school in question. In this matter. Husnul Yaqin stated that "the ability of an Islamic boarding school to survive and continue to exist today is closely related to the education system that was built" (Rohman, 2. Management of Islamic boarding schools must be broadly based on important elements, including the vision and mission of Islamic boarding schools which are in accordance with the philosophy of Islamic education, the functional organizational structure of Islamic boarding schools, partnerships and good services, planning and development of Islamic boarding schools, management and supervision of human resources, dynamics in carrying out strategies. learning, strengthening practical curriculum (Nurmaliyah et al. , 2. , efficient management of learning resources, management and maintenance of Islamic boarding school facilities (Zulfatun & Arifin, 2. The distinctive characteristics of educational management in Islamic boarding schools prioritize the development of morals through the study of classical books. Even Islamic boarding schools maintain the traditional teaching system that existed before Islamic boarding school institutions were legalized in law. The role of the kyai is very important as a figure who is very knowledgeable and wise in making decisions (Masturaini, 2. In Indonesia there are Islamic boarding schools which are famous for being influenced by factors such as boarding schools, mosques, teaching classical books, santri, kiai and alumni (Priatmoko, 2. The boarding school is a characteristic of the Islamic boarding school tradition which has become an identity because providing a boarding house involves the fame Islamic Boarding School Management System In Increasing The Competitiveness Of Islamic Boarding Schools In Jambi Province -Tabroni. Husein Ritonga. Kasful Anwar Us of a kyai and the depth of knowledge about Islam from far away places. To gain knowledge from the kyai, students must live in the kyai's residence. The mosque is a means to educate students in the practice of prayer, sermons, and teaching classical books (Martin van Bruinessen, 1. Teaching classical books to students who wish to become scholars, they can develop skills in Arabic through sorogan and recitation before they go to Islamic boarding school. The classic books taught in Islamic boarding schools consist of nahmu . , sharaf . , fiqh, ushul fiqh, hadith, tafsir, monotheism. Sufism, and ethics as well as dates and balaghah. Santri in the Islamic boarding school tradition are classified into two groups, namely mukim santri and kalong santri. Resident students are students who come from outside the area and live in huts. Kalong students are students who come from the Islamic boarding school environment, they live in their own homes, not in the Islamic boarding school (Fathurrochman et al. , 2. The Islamic boarding school component will function optimally by implementing management in every implementation. Therefore, the role of the leader must be able to change the behavior of all members and realize the Islamic boarding school's vision and mission. The management works sincerely at the Islamic boarding school. By spending time, thought and energy to achieve the results of developing Islamic boarding schools (Isroani & Nguyen, 2. Management in a large organization leads to control actions (Iskandar et al. , 2019. Juni & Somad, 2014. Syafaruddin, 2003. Yukl, 2. Success provides the ability to control and provide long-term control as a stakeholder in an organization so that every activity is focused on the object and moves in accordance with established guidelines (Winarsih, 2. Managerial work at an Islamic boarding school as a complete organization with many system building components involves all management functions. The management of modern Islamic boarding schools in providing professional education also refers to general managerial theory (Sakir, 2. As described as follows: Figure 1 . Essential Nature of Managerial Work (Mullins, 2. By distinguishing 'managing' from 'doing' in this way researchers can view management as aiming at clarifying and planning work, organizing the distribution of activities and tasks to others, direction of subordinate staff and controlling the work performance of others (Badrudin International Journal of Islamic Though and Humanities. Vol. 2 No. 02 September 2023 & Nurdin, 2. It provides an easy description and summary of managerial work as clarifying goals, planning, organizing, directing and controlling as shown above. The degree of emphasis placed on these different activities may vary greatly, from one manager to another. Some managers tend to spend more time on certain activities than others. The application of these activities reflects a variety of organizational situations, management practices, and managerial styles (Kraines, 2. The dynamics of Islamic boarding school management affect various aspects including students, learning, facilities and infrastructure, leadership patterns, and institutional management systems. Santri who live in Islamic boarding schools have developed a santri culture based on knowledge and charity. Because among them they are familiar with the proverb "al-ilmu bila amalin ka as-syajari bila samarin" which means "knowledge without practice is like a tree without fruit. " This is a reflection of the views and attitudes of the students regarding the knowledge they seek (El-Syirazi. , 2. The development conditions of Islamic boarding schools have recently experienced significant improvement. Education at Islamic boarding schools currently occupies an important position for parents when deciding on the right educational institution to develop their child's character. A growing trend in Islamic boarding schools is to organize Salafi learning with strong yellow book teachings accompanied by general learning that follows the governance of national education administration. Therefore, researchers chose three Islamic boarding schools as representatives from three districts in Jambi province. The Islamic boarding schools consist of the Al Hidayah Islamic Boarding School in Jambi City, the Zulhijah Muaro Islamic Boarding School in Bulian Batanghari and the Syakh Maulana Qori Merangin Islamic Boarding School. The dynamics of competitive ability must continue to be improved to be able to carry out the implementation of Islamic boarding schools in the province, which sometimes experience ups and downs every year. The more Islamic boarding schools there are, the higher the level of competitiveness of Islamic boarding schools so that they become institutions that are truly worthy of the public's trust. Its existence, which was once placed in the number two position as a choice for quality education at the national standard, has triggered a very rapid Islamic boarding school management movement. Many Islamic boarding schools are improving their management systems to display competitive capabilities that are not left behind by general education institutions. In 2020, the condition of Islamic boarding schools is at an improving level, in more detail can be seen from the following table (Kanwil, 2. Table 1.

As a consideration, the researchers chose the three Islamic boarding schools in strategic areas. The researcher's capacity as well as the research time schedule limits can reach the research location appropriately. There are several reasons why researchers chose the three Islamic boarding schools, including looking at the achievements of each Islamic boarding school. Islamic boarding schools have produced many quality student graduates. This can be seen from the number of alumni of the PKP Al-Hidayah Islamic boarding school who successfully graduated and continued their education in Egypt with the provision of a foreign language, namely Arabic. Likewise, many alumni of the Sheikh Maulana Qori and Zulhijah Muara Bulian Islamic boarding schools have successfully continued their education at various other tertiary Not just continuing their education, many students have become scholars or founders of various educational institutions as well as figures and leaders of government Santri are the main element of an Islamic boarding school. Santri or also known as students in general education institutions. The aim of providing education in Islamic boarding schools is not much different from national education. Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System states that national education functions to develop abilities and shape the character and civilization of a dignified nation in order to make the nation's life more intelligent, aimed at developing the potential of students to become human beings who believe and are devoted to God Almighty. One, noble character, healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent, and a democratic and responsible citizen (Sisdiknas, 2.

The Sheikh Maulana Qori Islamic boarding school also has a large building area and is still undergoing the development process.
