It is then followed by the adoption of a classical system and a formal school model. Islamic boarding schools are known as non-classical education and the teaching models called bandongan, sorogan, and witonan, which in Bugis language called mangaji tudang or mangaji kitta. The implementation of learning and teaching process varies from one Islamic boarding school to another Islamic boarding schools. Each pesantren organizes and modifies the learning system or model used and adapted to the situation and conditions of the pesantren itself. The Islamic boarding school improves its learning model by developing a new model, which is ‘classical model’. The Kyai (teachers) will teach various subject matters for various levels in pesantren, then students will be given a freedom to choose which group they need.
