Education Waqf is not a novelty among the society, but the practice had begun from the times of the early scholars who invested their wealth on hut institutions and religious schools. However, the practice has long deteriorated, and even no one has ever known about this “Education Waqf”. Educational institutions in the west of Asia have long used the waqf assets for the purposes of management, spending and construction of universities. It is based on this fact that this study is conducted to enhance the implementation of “Education Waqf” practice in educational institutions in Malaysia especially educational institutions that are based on Islam like People’s Religious Schools (SAR) to address issues related to students and administration, especially involving finance. It is undeniable that there are various challenges that need to be faced in managing and administering Education Waqf assets. Thus, this study aims to identify the challenges faced by SAR administrators in managing Education Waqf assets. This study is done using the content analysis method on the data gathered, through observation on secondary sources such as books, journals, magazines and so on. The study finds that there are multifarious challenges faced by SAR administrators including the understanding of the society and the staff, legislation, expertise and so on. This study is able to serve as guidance to SAR administrators in the aspect of managing Education Waqf assets.
