Abstract

Abstract UNESCO statistics reveal wide disparities in higher education enrollment patterns and the production of teachers in selected Islamic countries. About 8% of tertiary level students go abroad for studies, but increasingly to other Islamic countries, where higher education institutions continue to expand. High student enrollments are in humanities, religion and theology, and disproportionately low enrollments in math and science. Tertiary level teacher education enrollments vary widely from country to country, though there are more than twice as many candidates enrolled in secondary level teacher training programs as there are in tertiary level. The Islamic fundamentalist movement repudiates Western education and science, including teacher education content and methods, and regards faith as the criterion of a teacher's worth.
