The transformation of MAN Insan Cendekia is part of the dynamics of Islamic education policy in Indonesia, which seeks to integrate Islamic values with science and technology. This institution originated from an idea by B.J. Habibie through the Science and Technology Equity Program (STEP) in 1999, which was later transferred to the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This study aims to analyze the MAN Insan Cendekia transformation policy in the context of Islamic education policy, including its background, implementation, and implications for the madrasah education system. This study uses a literature review method by examining policy documents and analyzing related scientific literature. The results of the study show that this policy strengthens governance, integrative curriculum, and research-based learning systems at MAN Insan Cendekia, even though its implementation faces obstacles such as limited resources, the readiness of educators, and quality gaps between model madrasahs. Overall, the MAN Insan Cendekia transformation policy shows a new direction in Islamic education policy that emphasizes modernization without abandoning religious values. The sustainability of this policy requires increased human resource capacity, infrastructure support, and collaboration between institutions to strengthen the quality of Islamic education in Indonesia.
