Abstract

This article discusses the issue of inclusiveness in private Islamic schools, specifically in Surabaya. By conducting observations in various Islamic schools, this article aims to reveal the potential of inclusiveness within Islamic private schools in Surabaya. There is a presumption that teachers in these schools tend to acknowledge a singular truth without presenting different kinds of beliefs. They typically adhere to the traditional interpretation of Islam, which clearly defines boundaries between religious communities. In addition, most, if not all, students in these schools come from similar social or economic backgrounds. Consequently, they have limited exposure to diversity. An attempt that could be considered to deal with the issue of inclusiveness is fostering intergroup connections. It could be argued that establishing positive interactions with individuals from different religious backgrounds and connecting with people from diverse groups has the potential to create positive experiences that can reduce negative prejudice. However, this initiative needs active support from various stakeholders, including teachers, government authorities, and student guardians. These parties are expected to have a collective awareness of nurturing exclusive relationships between diverse religious adherents.
