Description
The book emphasizes that education in the UAE started at the hands of Mutawwa’a. In many cases, education did not exceed reading and memorizing the Qur’an by students. The book defines three stages of education: the Kuttab, the small school system, and formal education. The author explains that this book covers the period from the beginning of the twentieth century (1904), to the establishment of UAE in 1971, almost twenty years after the transition of education from its primitive form “Kuttab” to a more sophisticated form, which started in the 1960s, especially in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah
