Abstract

This paper explores the historical trajectories of Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in addressing the challenges posed by colonial education in Indonesia. It examines how these two prominent Islamic organizations responded to the Dutch colonial educational system, which often marginalized indigenous culture and values. The study highlights the strategies employed by Muhammadiyah, focusing on modern educational reforms and the establishment of schools, while NU emphasized traditional Islamic teachings and the preservation of local customs. By analyzing their differing approaches, this research sheds light on the broader impact of these organizations on Indonesian society and their roles in shaping the national educational landscape. The findings underscore the significance of these movements in fostering a sense of identity and resilience among Indonesians during a critical period in their history.
