What wikipedia says about Muslims and education attainment

[Muji.Iqbal]

Muslims are tied with Hindus with the lowest average levels of education. We need to change this trend. Muslim nations need to encourage education of its citizens to at least bachelors and master's level education.

This is kind of dumb analysis and it doesn't account for variance in regions(for example the GCC states, Malaysia will be far higher than places in Africa). much of it has to do with regions and wealth than anything else.

Interesting information. More data is at https://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-c.../21094148/Religion-Education-ONLINE-FINAL.pdf

Original research has more granular analysis. The Wiki article is just a summary.

Muslim nations need to invest in education in the Academic disciplines or the secular subjects as well like the hard and social sciences. No wonder why we are behind.

Wikipedia is just a basic summary and what is perceived among most peoples.

Its a valid question, despite the fact we Muslims make 25% of humanity, we are still tied with the lowest amount of education according to wikipedia. This trend needs to be changed and we need to improve our situation.

Atleast we can only go up from the level we are at.


The only thing I disagree with the pewresearch article, is that they think that some Muslim rulers may have discouraged secular education. lol. Show some credible source which proves that wrong opinion. Some of the greatest advances in the sciences were done by Muslim scientists.

Not just 'were'; some are being done. For example,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Zewail established the science of Femtochemistry
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aziz_Sancar is a highly reputed molecular biologist.

Looks like education has become passé among some people.

PhD programmes of 11 KP varsities fail to attract enrolment

PESHAWAR: Despite a huge budget, not a single student has been enrolled in the PhD programmes of around 11 universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the last three years. A decreasing trend in enrolment...

I'm not so sure.

If I'm not mistaken the more educated parts of the Muslim world have a lower fertility rate than the rest of the Ummah.

Iran for instance has a TFR of below 1.71. Saudi Arabia is just about to continue its TFR slide below the 2.1 replacement level. Malaysia is already below 1.82 and the UAE has already plunged below a staggering 1.46.

On the other hand that beacon of literacy Afganistan has a TFR of ~4.75 per woman and I cannot imagine the women their being barred from an education will lower that rate very much.

In the meanwhile that country you might have heard of called Pakistan has so far only lowered its TFR to ~3.5 and I think we all know which educational level segment of the population is having most of the kids.

Country’s indicators fall below levels seen by world’s poorest nations

Want to guess the TFR and literacy rate of 99% Muslim Somalia is?

In other words unless some vast wave of education sweeps the Muslim world, the educated segments appear to be shrinking and the great illiterate masses in many places are projected to grow.

This is a problem for the whole world and not just 'Muslim world'.

Oh indubitably. It's just that the Muslim world was the subject I was responding to.

There is only one country on Earth bucking the trend where the TFR is rising at the same time their women are becoming more educated and are participating more in the workforce. For the rest of the entire world there seems to be a direct negative correlation between female education levels and workforce participation and fertility rates. Basically the great unwashed sea of illiterate masses seem to have a darwinian advantage.

Far more worrisome than the 'Muslim world' is this:

Nations with least amount of human capital will be exploding in population leading to Darwinian consequences. This is at least as important as Climate change.

Our mean years of schooling is ~7 years, which is also pulled down by Moslems. Madrassah graduate stop wasting your time on Wikipedia.

Which country is this ? I am interested to know how did TFR rise while women get more educated.

Wikipedia should not always be trusted as you know. Especially with topics pertaining to Pakistan. There is a powerful Indian lobby there,
