In the 21st century, democratic attitudes and religious tolerance among students everywhere are increasingly declining due to technology and digital developments that cause students have the tendency to be apathetic and less care about their environment. It is expected that Islamic education can prevent these behaviour. This study was conducted to analyze the relationship between Islamic Education and democratic attitudes and religious tolerance. Out of 900 high school students in West Java, Indonesia, 172 students were taken as research samples. This study uses a quantitative approach with correlational design in order to find out the relationship of a variable with other variables. This method reveals factual data based on information found. The results of this study indicate that between the understanding of Islamic Education (X) on Religious Tolerance (Y2) a significance value of 0.004 <0.05 which means there is a significant correlation, and also for democratic attitudes (Y1) towards Religious Tolerance (Y2) significance value amounting to 0,000 <0,05 which means there is a significant correlation. Hence, it can be concluded that Islamic religious education can improve democratic attitudes and religious tolerance among high school students.
The scarcity of job opportunities in Indonesia has encouraged some of its citizen to work abroad; these workers are commonly known as PMI (Pekerja Migran Indonesia –Indonesian migrant workers). One of the salient challenges encountered by PMI occupied in the semi-skilled and unskilled employment, which shared the highest percentage of PMI, is limited English proficiency. This has caused a range of formidable impacts ranging from misunderstandings between the employer and PMI to making PMI less preferable compare to workers from other countries. This research aims to (1) evaluate materials used in the English training programs by BLKLN (Balai Latihan Kerja Luar Negeri -Overseas Training Centre for Indonesian Migrant Workers); (2) Identify PMI’s perceptions concerning their English language needs. Forty-five PMI in Malaysia and Thirty-Six PMI in Singapore were involved in this case study research. Findings from the study revealed that there are gaps between how English is taught at BLKLN and PMI’s language learning needs to the extent of materials and method. Hence, findings from this research put an urgent call to improvement in the English language training at BLKLN in order to meet the PMI’s learning needs.
