Madrasas

Madrasas are educational institutions primarily in the Muslim world, focused on teaching Islamic theology, religious studies, and other subjects. They vary in structure, ranging from informal classes to more formal schools, some offering secondary and higher education. While traditionally emphasizing religious education, many madrasas also include secular subjects like math, science, and literature. Their role can vary significantly depending on the region and context, with some seen as community centers. In recent years, madrasas have been discussed in relation to broader educational and social issues, including debates about extremism and integration within societies.
