Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article discusses the response of Islamic scholars from dayahs (traditional Islamic schools) in Aceh towards the Department of Dayah Education Aceh in establishing communication with them for the development of dayah education in Aceh. The issue is highlighted due to disappointment among dayah scholars with the communication approach employed by the Department towards them as the leaders of dayah institutions. Historically, the Department of Dayah Education Aceh (DPDA) emerged from extensive negotiations between the scholars and the Aceh government. Initially, when it was known as the Aceh Dayah Education Development Agency (BPPDA), there was intensive communication with scholars to advance dayah education. However, after its status changed to DPDA, there appears to be a neglect of the scholars and a forgetting of its origins rooted in the agreement between the scholars and the Aceh government. The research conducted employs a qualitative descriptive field research approach. Primary data was gathered through in-depth interviews with key dayah scholars in Aceh who played significant roles in establishing the Department of Dayah Education. The research subjects were purposively selected after observing several dayah leaders in Aceh. Additionally, the study utilized various relevant literature sources. The findings reveal that dayah scholars in Aceh feel disappointed with the communication methods employed by DPDA, as they feel neglected and uninvolved in activities related to dayah education development in Aceh.
