Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2013. xiv, 179 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [156]-166) and index. Higher learning in Muslim contexts : the past and present -- Modern developments of higher education in Muslim contexts -- Ideas of a university : key conceptual issues and challenges -- Concepts of a university in Pakistan -- The cases of universities visited -- Challenges universities in Pakistan face. "This book explores the different concepts of "a university" and the way they shape practice in Muslim contexts, with a particular focus on the Islamic republic of Pakistan. Higher education in Muslim contexts is often criticised for being incapable either of contributing to the socio-cultural and civilisational developments of society or of doing research and producing knowledge of a high standard. While the international organisations accuse universities of not helping the societies to become knowledge based and to compete at the global level, some Muslim scholars call for the creation of "authentic Islamic" educational structures that would, as they think, solve the problems of higher education. In addition, since 9/11 some have been accusing Islam and its institutions, especially madrasas of being terrorist establishments. Yet, these criticisms fail to consider the diverse historical evolutions of social institutions, including those of higher education, and the way political, ideological and economic contexts have an impact on them. These claims and generalisations are often made without sufficient evidence from the grass root level or conducting in-depth qualitative or historical research on the subject."--Publisher's description. 28034 Education, Higher Islamic countries. 5019 Education, Higher Pakistan. 5020 Islamic education. 5021 Islamic education Pakistan. 5022 Islamic universities and colleges. 5023 Islamic universities and colleges Pakistan. 5024 ddc BK 14427 14427 0 0 ddc 0 378_530000000000000_MUB 0 24432 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2014-06-12 Karim International 8800.00 1 3 378.53 MUB 3010028034 2019-10-31 2019-10-09 1 2014-06-12 BK
