Abstract

Minister of Religion Regulation (PMA) Number 58 of 2017 regulates all matters regarding Madrasah Heads. However, in reality it has not been implemented in accordance with the PMA. This study aims to describe the strategies adopted by madrasas in Pekalongan Regency against the Regulation of the Minister of Religion (PMA) Number 58 of 2017 concerning Heads of Madrasas. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with interactive model. Sources of data in the form of places and events, informants, and documents. The results of the study show that the strategies adopted by madrasas in Pekalongan Regency, have partially been right on target in fulfilling PMA Number 58 of 2017 concerning Heads of Madrasas. However, under certain conditions madrasas develop independent strategies that show contradictory policies towards PMA so that both the government needs to put more emphasis on implementing the PMA regulations to madrasas, especially private madrasas. Because in the field there are still many madrasah heads who are not disciplined and there are many discrepancies in conducting PKKM, including positions that have not even been 1 year old, because the period has ended either due to a change or retirement or death.
