Al-Azhar University

Going to a university is an important part of a person’s life. Today, many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine, or education. 36  An important one started in Egypt over one thousand years ago.

The world’s oldest surviving (幸存的) university, Al-Azhar, is in Cairo, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque (*寺) in A.D. 972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque. They read and talked about the subjects of religion (宗教) and law.  37  Leaders in the city of Cairo decided to create a school for higher learning and soon after that, Al-Azhar University was started.

 38  For these teachers at Al-Azhar, they needed to think about what courses to teach and how to teach them. The earliest courses were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there was also free discussion. Often, students and teachers had interesting discussions, and there was no “correct” answer. In the years that followed, the new university interested scholars (学者) from around the world.   39  At Al-Azhar, people studied the past, but it was also a place for sharing new ideas.

Over a thousand years later, Al-Azhar is still an important university in the world.  40  Today, many of the world’s most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the same traditions as they do at Al-Azhar.
