Abstract

This study aims to analyze the opportunities and challenges of the Islamic State University Imam Bonjol as a Gender Responsive Islamic Religious College in higher education. It is hoped that the large number of PTKI in Indonesia can play an important role in responding to gender issues. However, most of these PTKI are said to have not been maximally responsive to the expected gender issues. Many PTKI do not yet have facilities that reflect them as gender responsive institutions, such as the absence of child care centers, the absence of special places for breastfeeding mothers. In fact, many PTKI, including UIN Imam Bonjol, are minus gender responsiveness in the education curriculum and related policies. This type of research is field research with a qualitative approach. Data were collected by interview and document study, then analyzed descriptively by means of reduction, display and verification. The results of the study show that UIN Imam Bonjol has a great opportunity to become a gender responsive part of PTKI. It’s just that it is still constrained in various aspects for its implementation such as lack of harmony in the work relationship between each element. The utilization of opportunities is shown by the existence of various leadership policies that prioritize gender elements, such as the existence of the Center for Women, Gender and Children Studies, supporting the sustainability of Kafaʻah: Journal of Gender Studies which is already in Sinta’s position 2. Back in 2011 there was a place child care but only lasted a year. Statistically, the number of women is comparable to men, even in certain faculties there are more women but more strategic positions are assigned to men. The curriculum in each faculty has not shown a specific gender responsive element, even though universities have claimed the use of KKNI in their curriculum.
