Abstract

This study explores the transformation of Islamic Boarding Schools (IBS) in West Sumatra, Indonesia, under neoliberal influences. Historically focused on religious education and character building, IBS have evolved to integrate broader academic competencies, including technological literacy, foreign language proficiency, and industry-relevant skills, in response to globalization. This research employs a qualitative methodology, combining interviews, document analysis, and observation to examine the segmentation of IBS based on social class dynamics. The findings reveal that IBS increasingly adopt market-driven practices, resulting in stratified access influenced by demographic, psychographic, and psychological factors. To address disparities, IBS implement measures such as scholarships, community funding, and waqf programs, enabling greater inclusivity for lower-income families. This study highlights the intersection of education, market forces, and social equity, showcasing how IBS balance traditional Islamic principles with contemporary educational demands in a neoliberal context.
