Abstract

This study examines the current state of Philippine madrasah education, particularly the challenges and potential opportunities under the BARMM government. Utilizing a descriptivequalitative approach, the research analyzes existing research and relevant documents. The findings reveal a long history of madrasah education in the Philippines, initially focused on Quran and Arabic instruction. This program evolved and became institutionalized as the ALIVE program nationally, with the BARMM region implementing the ISAL program. Additionally, the upcoming "Public Madrasah System'' signifies further development. However, despite progress, significant challenges remain, with the exception of a recent salary increase for ISAL teachers in the BARMM region. This positive step highlights the need for further research on program effectiveness and the broader landscape of madrasah education beyond the ISAL program. Drawing on successful international reforms, collaboration among stakeholders, teacher training, and modern technologyintegrated curriculums that balance religious and practical skills are identified as key areas for improvement. Prioritizing girls' education is also crucial. By learning from international models and addressing Philippine-specific challenges, improvements can ensure a wellrounded madrasa education that prepares students for both faith and the contemporary world. Further research into various madrasa programs is recommended for a holistic understanding
