Abstract | To examine the nexus between Islam and education in Egypt, a sample of 381 university students in Cairo were surveyed about their feelings toward the role of Islam in the state-sponsored universities. An analysis of their responses suggests the following: 1) at least among a literate urban (Cairene) student population, a heavy majority considers the national system of education to be too "Westernized"; 2) most approve of a religious education requirement at the university level where none exists at the present; and 3) a majority affirms that a university with a more Islamic orientation would enhance the quality of their education. While there appears to be general dissatisfaction with the current state of education, the survey hints that Egyptian society itself is perhaps deeply divided over educational policy. Although the Islamic idiom acts as a common cultural reference for Egyptians in the eduxcation debate, interpretation of the key terms of this language are far from homogeneous. (DIPF/Orig.) |
