The models of modem education changed the sub-culture. The influence of kyai has been changed by the interference of govemment with national curriculum in pondok pesantren. The patemalistic relation of kyai become more democratic, because kyai makes less relation with santris, and the followship of santri to kyai become more rational for santri get some new knowledge beside the knowledge of religion.
