The School Operational Assistance (BOS) policy is a strategic government instrument to ensure the sustainability of educational services and to improve the quality of learning, including in madrasahs. However, in practice, the implementation of the BOS policy still faces various administrative and structural challenges, particularly in private educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the BOS fund policy at MTs Izharul Haq Garut and to identify factors affecting its effectiveness from the perspective of Islamic education governance. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature study enriched with empirical field data. The analysis is conducted using public policy implementation theories proposed by Edwards III, Grindle, and Mazmanian & Sabatier, as well as the good governance framework in Islamic education. The findings indicate that the implementation of the BOS policy at MTs Izharul Haq Garut has adhered to the principles of transparency and participation; however, it has not been optimal due to frequent regulatory changes, limited human resource capacity, and weak policy communication. Islamic values such as amanah (trustworthiness), justice, and accountability in educational management serve as important foundations for maintaining the integrity of BOS fund management. This study recommends the need for policy stability, strengthening digital administrative capacity in madrasahs, and the establishment of participatory policy feedback mechanisms.

Indonesian national education is the result of a continuous interaction between government policies and the contributions of civil society, including modern religious organizations such as Muhammadiyah, which has played a significant role in educational transformation since 1912. Amidst the demands of globalization and the need for an inclusive, adaptive, and character-based education system, it is important to understand Muhammadiyah’s influence in shaping the direction of national education policy. This study aims to identify the forms of this influence, including institutional contributions, advocacy roles, curriculum innovation, and strategic partnerships in supporting national education development. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method was used to systematically analyze 40 relevant accredited journal articles, resulting in a comprehensive thematic mapping. The results show that Muhammadiyah has a significant influence in four main aspects: expanding access to education through a broad and equitable network of institutions, contributing to policy advocacy involving Muhammadiyah figures and formal institutions, innovating in Islamic-based curriculum and pedagogy, and forming strategic partnerships with the government in equalizing and improving the quality of national education. Analysis of the distribution of articles shows that 35% focused on institutional contributions, 25% on policy advocacy, 20% on curriculum innovation, and 20% on forms of educational partnerships.
