The research discovered that Azyumardi Azra believed Muslims could meet the needs of modernity only by integrating the classical model of Islamic education and modern Western education.

His critics argued that modernisation of Islamic education established by Azyumardi Azra liberalised Islamic thought towards religious pluralism in Islamic education in Indonesia.
