Muslim Group Protests Indonesia’s Planned Switch to Five-Day School Week
Indonesia's plan to extend the school day by 90 minutes while reducing the school week to five days faces opposition from Muslim groups, particularly Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), who argue it will harm after-school Islamic education. Thousands protested in Solo, Central Java, calling for the revocation of the policy, which is part of the Strengthening Character Education Program. The government has made the policy optional following complaints. The policy aims to improve teacher performance and align their work hours with other civil servants. Opinions among parents are mixed, with some concerned about the impact on students' energy and religious studies, while others appreciate the reduced need for after-school tutoring.

PBNU Secretary General: KH Marzuki Mustamar's Dismissal Unrelated to Politics
The Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) confirmed that the dismissal of KH Marzuki Mustamar as the head of PWNU East Java was due to internal organizational issues, not political reasons. Secretary General Saifullah Yusuf stated that the decision followed a lengthy process and was unrelated to the 2024 presidential election. The dismissal was attributed to Marzuki's inability to resolve issues within the Jombang branch and other internal problems. PBNU has given PWNU East Java two weeks to appoint a replacement, failing which PBNU will intervene. This marks the second time a PWNU East Java head has been dismissed before the end of their term.

Ahok’s defeat says less about the rise of Islamism and more about the strength of entrenched political interests.
The article discusses the defeat of Jakarta's incumbent governor Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama by Anies Baswedan, analyzing it as less of a sign of rising Islamism and more as an indication of the power of entrenched political interests. The election result is seen as a shock, with comparisons to Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. The author, Nithin Coca, suggests that the use of religious and ethnic appeals to delegitimize Ahok was a new strategy in Indonesia, highlighting the role of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) in organizing mass rallies against him. The article also touches on the potential implications for future elections, including the 2019 presidential race, and the possibility that the use of religion as a wedge issue could lead to the rise of a conservative-religious political leader, changing the secular and tolerant nature of Indonesian politics.
