This study explores the integration of Islamic and local cultural values in the madrasah education system through the GEMMATI (Gerakan Membangun Madrasah Teladan Insani) program initiated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Blitar Regency. The academic concern underlying this research lies in the fragmentation between religious and cultural education in Indonesia, which often separates Islamic spirituality from local wisdom. This study aims to analyze how GEMMATI embodies the synthesis of Islamic values and Javanese cultural heritage in the formal education system. Using a qualitative library research approach, data were collected from the official GEMMATI document and relevant literature on Islamic education, culture, and integration theories by Kuntowijoyo and Al-Faruqi. The findings reveal that GEMMATI operationalizes value integration through five movements: fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, kitab kuning reading, practicing sunnah deeds, Qur’an memorization, and revitalizing the mother tongue. These initiatives foster religious discipline, intellectual humility, social solidarity, and cultural identity among students. Therefore, GEMMATI offers a model of character education that unites spirituality, knowledge, and cultural rootedness—reflecting a holistic paradigm of Islamic education that is both contextually grounded and future-oriented.References
