Abstract

Accreditation has a very important role in improving the quality of Islamic education in Indonesia. This article aims to examine the role of accreditation in encouraging the improvement of the quality of Islamic education, both in terms of managerial, curriculum, human resource management, and educational facilities. Accreditation becomes an instrument used to assess the extent to which Islamic education institutions meet the standards set by the government and accreditation bodies. This study also discusses the challenges and obstacles faced in the accreditation process, as well as efforts that can be made to improve the quality of Islamic education through a more effective and efficient accreditation system. This research uses literature review with the hope of being able to contribute to the understanding of the role of accreditation in improving the quality of Islamic education. From the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that accreditation not only functions as a monitoring and evaluation tool, but also as a motivator for educational institutions to continue to innovate and improve the quality of teaching, research, and community service. Therefore, it is important for Islamic educational institutions to continue to pay attention to and comply with applicable accreditation standards in order to achieve the goal of quality education.
