Al Khoziny is a traditional Islamic boarding school known as Pesantren in Indonesia.

Traditionally, Pesantren focuses on Islamic studies such as memorizing the Qur’an and learning Arabic and Islamic law, but many now offer general education.

Unlike regular schools, Pesantren is not the Ministry of Education, but under the authority of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia.

However, surveillance is usually limited. Many pesantren work unofficially without a strong arrangement or consistent monitoring.

Indonesia’s construction sector has a weak security record and the international labor organization is gradually graded among the worst.
