However, some sports facilities are not available gadingmangu, like a swimming pool. Probably this facility should have available in Gadingmangu but why this facility is not available yet, some of the reasons that might be true is because of the residents can still see these facilities from some village outside of the Gadingmangu village that very close distance and the cost is low too. Some of the facilities mentioned above are facilities that is needed by the Gadingmangu villagers so the above facilities should be available and some facilities that are not available might be considered not very important or that facility can still be found in several places nearby.

Gadingmangu
gadingmangu is a village located in the district jombang  the population of this village is 8000 , this does not include students entrants. Gadingmangu has a variety population, the population consists of various tribes from different islands in Indonesia. This case difficult to believe for people who have never been in the village, but for those who has ever visited this village they were surprised and always wanted to visit this village for next time. As with the author I do not know why, but the fact is true.

Gadingmangu Villagers come from different islands, starting from island of Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, even from Jayapura or Irian jaya in other words "from Sabang to Merauke". Almost all the tribes of Indonesia can be met in Gadingmangu, furthermore if plus with the students who come to the village to learn then you will meet people from all over Indonesia. If you want to know why the villagers Gadingmangu very diverse, almost all tribes in this village, this situation may be because of the average visitor who has visited this village they felt that the village is suitable for their residence so year by year Gadingmangu grow in population. Gadingmangu village is not a city like Jakarta, but the fact remains that many people want to stay in this village perhaps because they found a better atmosphere than at their previous residence, better atmosphere which is near the place of learning, setrategis environment to live, and a pluralistic society, but friendly. Even some of parents of students because so often visit their children and then see  the atmosphere in the village they are interested in live in this village. Variety of have been there evidence, that some owners of the land in gadingmangu put a price which is not rational or very expensive land prices when compared to other villages. actually some fields was not selling by the owner  they only used fields for growing rice, but so many people they insist on buying eventually they sold but the price was very expensive.

Gadingmangu residents  come from different regions even a variety of different islands but Gadingmangu people can be friendly and know each other although this does not happen instantly, but because the people understand that they come from different regions and even the island, so the difference is not a barrier for them to realize the harmony between them. Their familiarity can be seen in a variety of activities that often they do it together. Along with more and more people in Gadingmangu village until the economic locals also getting better. Because the people are so numerous and varied that they need more and more so it can be a source of income for people gadingmangu.

the residents in this village is very dense much different when compared with neighboring villages. Gadingmangu village is divided into several parts or are they more frequently said "kelompok"(complex), first this village divided into 5 parts or more known 5 complex, they are
Gadingselatan, Gading masjid or Gamas,melaten tengah,mlaten sawah.

1. Gadingselatan complex or now better known by the name "Gasel". This complex is a complex that can be said the most vibrant communities because of located close to the gama 2 boarding school and close to the grandest mosques in the district jombang, this complex also has a name "Regas" abbreviation of the word REmaja GAding Selatan they mean teenager of South GADING, but this term only be used when there is a football competition among the complex in Gadingmangu village only.

2. Gading masjid complex or better known by Gamas. this complex also a very crowded the second one after Gasel
because this complex contained gama 1 boarding school that not only accommodate male students as gama2 but also female student.

3. melaten kota or the city of mlaten. the name of the complex is based of the location, because this complex is not located near by field like other mlaten. This complex is next door to the gasel so although the situation is not as busy as the neighbor, but this complex is located in a strategic place and more known in the football team as the "satara" a play on the word "putra nusantara" these word may mean son of archipelago ,that's a name of the football team for whole gadingmangu village people.

This complex is more famous for having the game of football like Barcelona and often called "swallow bird", I do not know why they call their football team as swallow bird

5. Melaten sawah.  used to this complex was also a fraction of the melaten. and because of the location closest to the field when compared to another mlaten complex, so this complex is called the melaten sawah or melaten near by fields. Recent years melaten sawah is the most compex made ​​a lot of talent and a reliable football player shown this complex in a few years ago won the adult level soccer in Gadingmangu.

MTI Budi Utomo Gadingmangu


MTI is a community created to accommodate Gadingmangu students who want to master English, whether in speaking, writing, or reading. MTI under Budi Utomo Gadingmangu educational foundation, Budi utomo is a school which was founded in Gadingmangu. MTI stands because some effort people who have a belief that a male or female students at schools gadingmangu would be very interested to join in the MTI, despite the Indonesia people has not been much interested to master English. MTI stands for the idea of one or two man which are planning a special class using English. The idea of English class came after they set up a class that uses Javanese language, that is native language of  people from East Java including Jombang. This language always learned and They made a class is to preserve their language, at that time had many young people in Gadingmangu who already do not know how to speak javanese correctly it'a funny thing there are people of Java, living together with their parents are also native of Java but they do not know how speak Javanese grammatically. Finally a class that uses Javanese language is established.

At the beginning of the founding of Java classes, then there may be 1-2 people planned the establishment of a class in the allotment for students who want to learn and master the English language.  Shortly the special class for English directly founded and running. When both classes went according to the plan of the founders, seen difference in the number of students who take the class, the Java class lot more than English class, but it is only temporary. A few days after the two-class runs, there was an oddity in the Java class, the students who attend  Javanese classes less and less. But something good happened in english class, in the begining not many student interested in this class after a few days the student increasing more and more everyday This went on in a couple of days, Javanese class followers decreases, Javanese class student decreases everyday t but the English class always increase. And after a few weeks later when the Javanese class in the survey apparently losing pupils in other words almost all gadingmangu students did not interest in the Java language class at that time in the javanese classroom was seen a teacher and a student only, it is very concernthe english class is very different after a few weeks, the participants that very little before but after a few months they are difficult to count. With this event the foundation is gadingmangu decided to eliminate the Javanese class foe a while and develop English class that already looks great and many Gadingmangu students interested in.

English class was not have a name yet. They do not specify the name and they usually just called English class. Then some teacher educators often refer to this class as the others, they call the MTI this name are taken from Indonesian "Muballigh tugasan internasional" in English it means "the teacher of the world", which means a teachers are ready to teach all over the world because of mastering english.
At that time MTI has not been officially as the name of this class. Each year, this class participants grew and finally MTI becames the official name of the english class. Due to the follower of this English class growing number so it made ​​some more classes to accommodate the students, at the begining MTI had only one class but now MTI has many class

MTI is a program conducted outside the school program, which is an additional program that specialize for students who are interested and want to master English in Gadingmangu. MTI conducted outside of school time the program start in the evening when sundown and fairly short duration, which started at about 19:00 to 20:10 or until the Adhan isyak. when MTI was popular in Gadingmangu and becomes bigger, the MTI began to organize new events that is comparative studies in some places,after the class running long enough eventually good idea appear from some teachers and MTI participants they planned tours to Bali. Because they want to know the results of what they have learned, including the ability of speaking, listening, especially when speaking with native speakers directly and they've never done this before, so the tour to bali is the solution to meet english native speaker. Until now, Bali is still a popular tourist spot for people outside of Indonesia so that there are many native speakers who come in bali, from Australia, America, and even Europe and other countries. At that time the tutors planned tour to Bali and stay there a few days because their purpose to meet some tourists and asked them to speak in English, so it takes more than one day. Currently, tour to bali activities are specific routines MTI participants, will be undertaken by the end of the school year and they usually stay approximately 3 to 4 days.

Gadingmangu MTI goal is one, it is to educate the students to be students with extra ability in languages the international language especially English. Though the duration of time to meet with the teachers are very short but their daily activities are very supporting in mastering the English quickly. they are in a room and talk everyday in English, its necessary not everyone allowed speak indonesian. Not only that the students who had been in "bali class" (this is a class name for students who are ready to go to Bali and their daily lessons, only about speaking)  they also are given the right to teach new students in MTI, so they could study how to teach  they are given the right to teaching the new students This is the key to success Gadingmangu students in mastering English. That's why Gadingmangu students successfully in mastering the English.

HAORPON has many purposes, the main goal is to increase the familiarity of the teachers with the students in Gadingmangu.

In the beginning HAORPON was made to introduce the young teachers and new teachers to the students, It was held after the walk together.

Gadingmangu boarding school


Gadingmangu boarding school for female student
Gadingmangu boarding school established in 1951 and inauguration in1952, gadingmangu boarding school has a long history, some I have written on the title of the post a brief history of GadingMangu. It's a boarding school located in Gadingmangu Village in Jombang. Gadingmangu boarding school divided into 2 place and with different name because of the location of different places, The first building called Gama1 and second one called Gama2
1. gama 2 is short for Gadingmangu2 located close to the Luhur nurhasan mosque and this boarding school (Gama 2) is only accepting or only able to accommodate male students, Gama2 can accommodate about 800 Students. Gama2 divided into 2 buildings commonly known by building A and building B

2. Gama1. this boarding school was named to the gama1 because was established first before Gama2. Gama1 formerly known as "Gadingmangu boarding schools"  because no Gama2 at the moment, then after the second boarding school built  to make it easier called with Gama1, and the second building is called the Gama2. Gama1 located on the north of the Luhur mosque, approximately 300m from Gama2, Gama 1 was alongside Antiq mosque  that is the first mosque built in the Gadingmangu village. Gama 1 is also divided into two parts: the first building for female students people used to call "Gama1 puteri", and the second one for the male students and better known as "gama1 putera". Gama1 puteri  used to only be occupied and entered by the female students, male of the students entered is prohibited. Gama 1 puteri can accommodate about 300 Students every year. and for gama 1putra can accommodate more than 300 Students every year  not as much as the number of male students in the Gama2 the capacity of this boarding school is 2 fold more because 2 building only contain male student, If counted all the students gadingmangu from both places and gama2 gama1 totaled 1400.

actually number of male and female students who come to study at the Gadingmangu boarding school more numerous of the number mentioned above. In every new school year in Gadingmangu, the number of students who come to the village of gadingmangu always expand and grow, at least there are 70% Students rejected for study in gadingmangu every year. This is not because Gadingmangu selecting strictly to the students or female students who wish to enter the boarding school in Gadingmangu, but the cause is insufficient, so that the students who arrived later did not have a place to stay while studying or the quota is met. Because there is no place to accommodate students then they had to to go back home. some of students in gadingmangu are choose not to be at the pesantren place although at the same purpose, in other words they rented room in a house owned by local people and they are willing to pay the appropriate fee as specified by the owner of the house, this cost usually in combination with the cost of meals every day. live outside the boarding school or called rented room, this happens because the space provided at the pesantren place is full so that it becomes an alternative and they can still take part as is generally the students in boarding school.

Gadingmangu is the most boarding school enjoy by the alumni who have been stay in Gadingmangu few years, compared with to other pesantren this is proved by the alumni who had left the Gadingmangu
, When they moved to another pesantren in order to continue and deepen they knowledge, after they moved in the pesantren they feel its difference with boarding school in Gadingmangu. Some of them say "I miss the atmosphere of Gadingmangu" and some of them when home sickness they say "I do not feel at home in this pesantren I feel like going to Gadingmangu". Though Gadingmangu not their home, but when they home sickness, they remember about Gadingmangu. It is a fact, which are said by some of my friends who had been living in boarding school of Gadingmangu.

Gadingmangu has been around since the 1952 And has graduated thousands and even hundreds of thousands of students.The students have spread throughout homeland of Indonesia and even foreign countries. Gadingmangu boarding school has a commitment to educate their students in order to become a professional in every way and have good character or moral so that the students always accepted by society, in fact they are the preferred by people from other countries because of their mind and character and has always respectful of others and so many alumni who excel in a particular field. Graduates of Gadingmangu many who work and become an important person in another State because, the boarding school of gadingmangu also provided supplies foreign language to the students, especially english special even English, they provide the media and special community with hope "any students who take this course can master english". This is what makes the alumni of Ponpes Gadingmangu always ready to Go international. And has been proven many alumni who are abroad even they become a resident of that Country. Gadingmangu boarding school Alumni has spread in 32 Countries, include: Australia, America and some other country.

This year (2012) gadingmangu boarding school has been visited by 4000 of  prospective students, but the amount can only be received is 1400 students so that about 2600 not able to live and study in Gadingmangu boarding school and they had to return home with disappointment but most of them chose stay in gadingmangu to study in other word they find a homestay, live with the owner of the house. therefore the boarding school of Gadingmangu started and are already making plans to expand the education in order to accommodate the students who want to study in Gadingmangu and treat the disappointment of the candidates that have been rejected.

About me


My name is alex jackson mahendra I used to be called alex, I come from Jombang district, I am a teacher of religion in the district Jombang. I love to fill my free time in front of the computer and itmust often go online to obtain the files or application is needed for computer and finally I was interested to make the web, blogs on the internet.
from now I started to like writing articles. I just write a little bit article on some of my blogs, but in my article that I wrote is very useful for those of you who read because I do not like writing articles that only important commercially. I started writing a few articles on free blogs like blogspot and wordpress. In my opinion free blog or paid it does not matter to develop our creativity or our hobby because, I do not know much about the science of blogging so I think make a free blog for beginners is very appropriate. I know that the top level domain looks more professional, but I thought, why create a blog with TLD but have not mastered the science of blogging? But do not worry for the visitors of this blog even though I created a blog using blogspot free this time I want to maintain the content of this blog, I would present all in English.
Actually, this blog address that are still not seemingly professional domain names. I prepared all info about GadingMangu complete. Because alumni that have been so much and are located throughout the homeland of Indonesia and foreign countries. And I know that from some of the alumni was looking forward about the latest information about the changes and developments in Gadingmangu that are more familiar called "Gading".

In this blog content and layout is my own work as the owner of the blog, but I always ask for advice on a couple of colleagues who can give progress this blog. I realized I was not a true webmaster because I began to understand about blogging in early 2012 around the month of April and at that time I felt very difficult to explore the science of blogging. Indeed, at that time I already have a laptop but have not been able to buy a modem so I just did a internet activities in the cafe, it is definitely a lot of cost, and I also attended training on the website a few months later, then I began to know much about blogging or website, but just as insightful because it was only 2 days of training and the internet connection a lot of interference so I often missed the lesson. Then from the training I started know much about that, then I tried to buy a modem that cost about 200 thousand rupiahs. I began to study and learn more on the subject matter which has been given the training by re-reading the e-book that has been given, but I feel lack so I was looking through the search engines and I began to understand a lot even though I get by way of self-taught or read through web-site that I found through google seach engine.

I'm sure though knowledge I got it on average through search engine I could make this blog contain professional. Whatever you are looking for about Gadingmangu will be available in this blog. I will make this blog look simple but easy to use and I will always try to beautify this blog accordance with the development the future, and did not rule out the name of this blog I will change it to a top level domain. It is my goal in building this blog, but it will take time be required.

If some of you have seen a lot of blogs that already contains information and news about Gadingmangu not to say that this blog is bandwagon. Actually before I made this blog I've made a blog titled Nuansa story which contains the story of exemplary, but when the blog know by my friend, he said why don't you create a blog that contains about Gadingmangu instead. Why he asked me to make a blog about Gadingmangu? the reason is many blogs that discuss about Gadingmangu was not complete that is, their blogs only discuss the parts of Gadingmangu such as a blog only contain about vocational school in Gadingmangu or junior high school and so on. So my friend suggested me to make this blog. This is a hard and difficult job for me but I am sure Insha Allah I can realize this and I ask the help of all parties about what to develop this blog.

a brief history of GadingMangu


"A city in the village" that is people saying who have visited and seen the state of the GadingMangu village. GadingMangu is a village in the district Jombang. The population is so diverse from almost homeland Indonesia can be found in this village. Who thought that gadingmangu now as people know, used to this village was residents deserted village even many homeowners left that village for many reasons, it is said there is a saying "Gadingmangu untouched by humans so much, its scary environment". Indeed, in that moment GadingMangu was not like you've seen now, used to there were many fields and lots of bamboo trees around the GadingMangu village, when it rains this village such as ponds or pools very muddy. even worse many people (villagers) they wanted to sell their land that in GadingMangu village to everyone who wanted to buy with a fairly cheap price and then move to another  region and left the village. But already become destiny this village will be a places that's visited by students who want to learn more on religious knowledge and general knowledge although several years ago GadingMangu was a village that many people feared even the original people of the village.

But Gadingmangu village will be turned into an educational center if built by an intelligent and brave. And at the moment there is no one who can change the state of Gadingmangu, and once again, it was the destiny of a deserted village residents will be a busy village, that visited by people throughout Indonesia and even from around the world. Time passed, and eventually smart and brave kid born he was not a native gadingmangu, he was from Kediri  the neighboring town of Jombang. From childhood he had been seen that figure is a genius child. Proven in time he learned very quickly in master of science even his teacher surprised with his intelligence. when he has mastered the science of his teacher he was not satisfied and moved to another place to seek more knowledge in his country. Even when he felt has mastered all of science in Indonesia and he did not see a place that gives science a more he decided to go to another country in order to deepen and broaden his knowledge.

 while abroad he also very fast in mastering sciences that he learned until he would be recruited by the State, but he felt that Indonesia requires knowledge he had, although at that time the Indonesian people did not understand a lot of how important of knowledge, especially the people from his city. After studying abroad in the country for several years, he decided to return to his beloved homeland Indonesia.
Upon his return to Indonesia, he had a desire to create a place of education in visited by students who want to gain knowledge and establish good moral personality. But the desire was still far from reality. He tried to share knowledge to local people, but not many of them understand the importance of sciences, not only that he did not have a partner to realize the desire of the day, he could never get it in a short time, and the spirit of people to gain knowledge was still very alarming. But he did not give up he had a conviction "if the ideal is taken seriously and the courage it will succeed", and he said "a great aspiration will not be successful if held by a timid person or a pessimist". With this conviction he was sure to find the path of success.

Long story short after he teached about science that he has learned so far and in teaching his knowledge in an uncertain (moved around) because not having his own place. He finally got a male friend who happens to live in the village gadingmangu. His friends know about his good wishes. And his friend suggested that he settle down and realize his wishes in Gadingmangu. his friends were ready to help provide places and funding if he wanted to settle down and realized his wishes in Gadingmangu. He felt that his dream will come true because of the success already seen.

Now he's moved to a new village and he had never previously live in the village (Gadingmangu) and he began to struggle in the village. Not as easy as it was to build gadingmangu to be like now, but need a lot of sacrifice and struggle. Because of his persistence in the struggle, and because he had mastery of knowledge more and more students who come to Gadingmangu vilage to study.
  He has a desire to establish boarding school in Gadingmangu so gadingmanu become an educational center as he wanted. Finally he and his colleagues managed to accommodate students who wish to boarding school. although only a few students and still junior high and the school is still borrow another school places, which is owned by SD IMPRES (a name of elementary school). The students attend school in the afternoon because the morning in use for primary schools. After a few months he and colleagues eventually succeeded in establishing the school, not just a high school junior, but also even the kindergarten and two cottages that are now more commonly known as Gama1 and Gama2. Originally gadingmangu cottage is gama1, because his male and female students more and more, eventually stood second cottage and is now more commonly known as Gama 2.
At that time he was already getting old but he's still in the spirit of fostering his students. And at that Gadingmangu is widely known everywhere, it's much different when compared with the first gadingmangu situation, now incoming students each year is increasing. And not long after in old age he left the village Gadingmangu forever. He died when Gadingmangu village familiar as "University town" though is actually a village, "city in the village" was greeting people who have visited village Gadingmangu.
