Keywords:
Cost Management, Islamic Education, Budget Efficiency, Financial Accountability, Education ManagementAbstract
The management of education operational costs is an essential aspect in the implementation of effective and sustainable education. This study aims to examine the concepts, challenges and strategies for optimizing the management of operational costs of education, especially in the context of Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on a literature study, this article finds that good operational cost management should include needs-based budget planning, efficient implementation of funds and accountable evaluation. Obstacles faced include dependence on government funds, inefficiency in spending, lack of transparency, and limited alternative funding sources. Diversification of funding sources, digitization of financial systems, and community involvement in budget oversight are key strategies in creating effective financial governance. The implications of optimal financial management contribute directly to improving the quality of education services and the sustainability of Islamic education institutions in Indonesia.
