Education in Egypt (RLE Egypt) Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Egypt series

Paperback / softback

Description

Egyptian education is a central, social and economic force in the Middle East.

For hundreds of years Al Azhar University has been the centre of Islamic thinking and education.

More recently Egypt became the leader in secular education as Mohammed Ali established the first medical, veterinarian, engineering and accounting schools in the Middle East.

Nasser expanded Egyptian educational leadership by providing free education for Muslem students from neighbouring countries.

The extensive exportation of Egyptian educators to initiate and educate in schools and universities throughout the Arab speaking world has shaped the secular and religious leaders of those countries.

This book traces the history of Egyptian education over the last hundred years and highlights the key factors which have given Egyptian education its particular quality and influence within the Arab world. First published 1986.
