In general, education plays both a conservative and a radical role in the progress of civilization. Education is a lifelong process. Thus, the potential of learning begins as early as a few months after conception. The home is the most important institution of informal education. In it, learning takes place in an unstructured and indirect manner.
School is the most important institution of learning for formal education.
In it, learning experiences are structured and organized systematically to achieve specific learning outcomes. In formal education, the school curriculum and the school teachers are very important facilitators of learning. In addition, learning occurs nonformally, which means that education is provided through institutions or organizations other than the formal school, for example, adult literacy classes. Education covers a broad spectrum of issues. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Muslim Ummah have been consistently reminded and cautioned by its scholars that the state of its education seems to be the root of its problems.
