Education and colonization selected articles

Author's name: Mustafa Mahmoud Hind General overview Translation: Abdulrahman Fathi Editing: Mustafa Hendi This book, with its various pages, presents an attempt at monitoring and analysis from diverse backgrounds and experiences of one dimension that was greatly affected by the colonial experience, which is education. It is historically known that Islamic societies (especially North Africa) did not know modern education systems except through the colonial experience; where the prevailing pattern of education was religious education based on studying with sheikhs in mosques, such as Al-Azhar, Zitouna, and Qarawiyyin. However, amidst the colonial experience and the return of delegations after studying in Europe and the efforts for modernization that Islamic societies faced, two transformations occurred at the level of educational patterns: constructing modern universities and the emergence of academies similar to Western academies, and another transformation within the halls of Islamic education itself, whether at the level of curricula or teaching methods. Natural sciences were first integrated into the spaces of Islamic schools, then later academic degrees in religious disciplines were established similar to the academic degrees granted by modern universities. From here, this book examines those transformations that the educational process, in general, and religious education, in particular, went through in Islamic societies during the colonial era.
