Talk:Education in Islam

Untitled
Why is there no information on what education looks like in the current Muslim World? "Education in Islam" is not just only a historical topic, but also an important topic in the modern world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lzweine (talk • contribs) 23:44, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Propose split
I propose splitting the article into "Islamic views on education" and "Education in medieval Islamic world". This is like how we have split Islamic attitudes towards science and Science in the medieval Islamic world. Just as the topic of Science in Islam is too broad, similarly "Education in Islam" is a very broad topic.VR talk 19:36, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I think this is at least premature, and potentially unwarranted by the body of RSs. I wrote most of the content about pre-modern education, and I recall that the main source I used treats these two sub-topics together, so the bulk of the article content discusses them together as well. I would say a higher a priority is to expand this article with some additional well-sourced content about more recent times. Eperoton (talk) 02:35, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , education (meaning both secular and religious, at all levels) in the modern Muslim world is a very broad topic that has little coherence. Education systems are more influenced by colonialism than by Islam. For example, education in Pakistan has more in common with education in India (both being former British colonies) than education in Algeria (being a former French colony). American Muslims' education has much more in common with their fellow Americans than with their co-religionists in Africa.
 * If we wanted to consider recent times, a better topic would be "Modern Islamic higher studies". That topic has much more coherence, both because it is influenced by Islam, and various Islamic universities are actually modeled after one another.VR talk 17:06, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * As for any article with "in Islam" in the title, there's the ambiguity between Islam as religion and Islam meaning the Muslim world. Right now we don't have much here about the modern era in either sense. Eperoton (talk) 03:29, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Perhaps some use of the terms "Islamicate" or "Islamic" can help make this distinction, as these terms are less inherently associated with the religion and more so refer to the 'Muslim world' at large. TOWNS12282 (talk) 00:04, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
