 sebagai lembaga pendidikan Islam. Banyak konstribusi yang telah diberikan madrasah sebagai 
 penyelenggara pendidikan di negeri ini. Ukuran konstribusi itu salah satunya adalah bahwa 
 madrasah ikut memperluas akses kesempatan mengenyam pendidikan bagi anak usia sekolah.

 akreditasinya C atau Tidak Terakreditasi (TT). Riset dilakukan pada 10 madrasah sampel mulai 
 dari tingkat Ibtidaiyah, Tsanawiyah dan Aliyah. Penelitian ini dikhususkan pada untuk tiga 
 standar pendidikan yakni standar Tenaga pendidik, proses dan sarana pra-sarana. 
 Kesimpulannya bahwa madrasah belum memenuhi dan melaksanakan standar sebagaimana 
 yang diatur oleh BSNP
