Abstract

This article explains that the teacher education system in pesantren, in the colonial period (especially the Dutch colonialism), and in the independence era (especially in 1950-1969 and during the Pre-service PPG which began in 2018), was strictly carried out starting from the selection of prospective students to the educational process, thus producing quality teacher candidates. Prospective students are strictly selected from academic and moral aspects. During education, the students must live in a dormitory so that the development of academic, teacher and moral aspects takes place optimally. After graduating, they are appointed as teachers with adequate salaries. Except for pesantren graduates who are not prepared as formal employees, but as teachers of community guidance in the non-formal sector

Key words: system, teacher education, pesantren, Dutch colonial, Indonesia
