Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the education system which was developed by the Muhammadiyah in Yogyakarta to encourage the young women to be a prospective Islamic leader. This madrasah was established in 1932, but the pioneer dated back in 1918. Historically, this madrasah was developed to teach women and to facilitate the needs of Islamic female leaders in Indonesia, which was increasing in the 1920s and 1930s. This condition occurred as the colonial education systems thriving, but the colonial government did not prepare the teachers, especially the Muslim teachers. To produce the best alumni who were ready to be deployed as the female Islamic leader, the student who studied in this madrasah were confined in a dormitory for a period of 6 years. In this case, after they graduated from this madrasah, they could contribute actively as a leader in society, becoming excellent teachers and ideal housewives. Therefore, there were plenty of programs designed for them during their study. They covered all general education, religious, teaching, and household knowledge. Through this focus and continuous curriculum with intensive supervision, this madrasah still exists until this present-day. The historical method is utilized to conduct research for this paper by examining documents, oral and visual sources that result in the production of historical facts.
