Abstract: The integration of Child-Friendly School (CFS) principles in religious-based education remains a global challenge, particularly in Indonesia and other Asian countries where faith strongly influences schooling practices. This study aims to analyze the successes and barriers of CFS implementation within the framework of transformative education. Employing a narrative review method, it synthesizes scholarly works, policy documents, and regional reports from Asia and global contexts. Findings reveal that aligning CFS with religious and cultural values fosters inclusive, ethical, and participatory learning environments. By offering actionable recommendations for educator training, stakeholder collaboration, and curriculum reform, the study advances the discourse on transformative education in religious settings. However, challenges persist in policy alignment and teacher training. The study contributes practical insights for advancing faith-based transformative education worldwide.
