IN THE month of Ramadan and school holidays, Muslim educators in Indonesia usually develop different and creative kinds of education.  

For example, pesantren has come to mean not only Islamic boarding schools where students stayed for several years to learn “traditional Islamic sciences” in a traditional way, but also to hear a more modern meaning, involving modern technologies such as the Internet and visual media in a relatively short period of time, such as pesantren kilat (short-term pesantren).
