World's Frist University: An Ancient Education System

By Gias Uddin Ahmed

University A University is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards degrees in various academic disciplines. Universities typically provide undergraduate education and posgraguate education. The word "university" is derived from the Latin universitas magistrorum CT scholarium, which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars. While antecedents had existed in Asia and Africa, the modern university system has roots in the European medieval university, which was created in Italy and envolved from Christian Cathedral schools for the clergy during the High Middle Ages. According to Encyclop dia Britannica, the earliest universities were founded in Asia and Africa, predating the first European medieval universities. The University of Al Quaraouiyine, founded in Morocco by Fatima al-Fihri in 859, is considered by some to be the oldest degree-granting university. The oldest existing, and continually operating educational institution in the world is the University of Karueein, founded in 859 AD in Fez, Morocco. The University of Bologna, Italy, was founded in 1088 and is the oldest one in Europe. The Sumerians had scribal schools or -Dub-ba soon after 3500 BC.
