Muslim Schools (<i>Pondok</i>) in the South of Thailand

This qualitative study depicts the dissemination of Islam in Pattani, South Thailand, starting from its earlier Hindu-Buddhist kingdom to the current state, by focusing on the influence of Acehnese Muslims in the progress. Studying related documents and conducting observable behavior for six months toward the local Pattanians also were deployed to enrich the data. The intertwined connections between Aceh and Pattani were identified by the existence of resembling tombstones from Aceh on the Pattanian kings, the Story of Pattani and the Pasai village. In addition, the Muslim ambassadors also contributed to the development of Islam in Pattani. An Acehnese pious scholar, Sheikh Said and the fame Pattanian scholar, Sheikh Daud al-Fatani, played a substantial role in modeling Islam within the Pattani Kingdom and its civilians, even though the position of Islam is inferior compared to Buddha’s throughout Thailand.

This study aims to understand the concept of financial accountability in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). The research is conducted at a pesantren in South Sumatra, which functions as a centre for Islamic education, social and business activities. Research Design & Methods:The research data were obtained through in-depth interviews with pesantren administrators. This study uses transcendental phenomenology to analyze qualitative data. Findings: This study found three themes that were sourced from the noematic experiences of research informants, namely amanah, trust, and transparency. This study reveals three essential things: first, accountability in the perspective of the pesantren's manager consists of accountability to God, the owner of the pesantren, students, and donors. Second, the manifestation of the implementation of financial accountability is financial recording and reporting. Third, transparency in understanding pesantren's manager is an openness among pesantren's administrators. Implications & Recommendations: When accountability based on their experience is understood as accountability to the pesantren owner, the preparation of financial reports is also understood to be only important for the pesantren owner. Therefore, financial reports as a form of accountability to parties outside the pesantren are considered not so important, including donors. Contribution & Value Added: This study reveals the meaning of accountability in the pesantren perspective and provides empirical evidence on sharia enterprise theory. Article type:research article

Education is increasingly becoming central to debates about how to promote peace in conflict-affected societies. Equitable access to quality learning, promotion of social justice through educational reforms and conflict-sensitive curricular and pedagogical approaches are viewed as peace supporting educational interventions. Drawing upon the existing body of literature in the area of education, conflict and peace in Southern Thailand and reflecting on Nancy Fraser's theory of social justice and applying the 4Rs framework, this paper provides a critical analysis of inequalities, cultural repression and epistemic domination through education. The paper argues that the 4Rs framework usefully exposes underlying structural tensions in education but does little to show avenues for rupturing unequal power relations and hegemonies that reproduce systems of domination and social exclusion at the macro level. The real hope, however, lies in the potential use of the 4Rs as a tool for grassroots political socialisation.
