Pesantren
One prominent "pesantren" figure in Indonesia is Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur), a former President of Indonesia. He was well educated in "pesantren" during his youth and grown up as a grandson of a "Kyai", the founder of one of Indonesian religious political organizations, Nahdlatul Ulama. Gus Dur himself was the head of this organization from 1984 until 1999. After his term as President of Indonesia, Gus Dur returned to teaching in his "pesantren" in Ciganjur.
