The Role of Islamic Boarding Schools in Enhancing the Entrepreneurial Attitudes of Students and Strengthening the Community's Economy

The development of Islamic boarding schools not only functions as an educational institution but also as a social and economic institution. This research aims to examine the role of Islamic boarding schools in enhancing students' entrepreneurial attitudes and strengthening the community's economy. The method used is descriptive quantitative to explain how the influence of learning variables can enhance students' entrepreneurial attitudes and how the economic empowerment variable influences the economic strengthening of the community around the Islamic boarding school. The results of the analysis show that 56.1% of learning has an influence on increasing the entrepreneurial Attitudes of students. Economic empowerment does not have a direct influence on strengthening the community's economy. However, the existence of Islamic boarding schools provides a real contribution to the empowerment of the community's economy through the development of various productive business units within the framework of the Islamic economic system, such as laundry services, food stalls, grocery stores, clothing stores, and tailoring services. These economic activities create job opportunities for the surrounding community and encourage local economic growth in an inclusive and equitable manner, in line with the basic principles of Islamic economics such as justice, welfare, and empowerment of the people.
