Biography
Marodsilton Muborakshoeva is a Lecturer of the Secondary Teacher Education Program, a joint programme of the Institute of Ismaili Studies and the Institute of Education, University of London, UK. Her research interest are the history and philosophy of higher education, comparative education, education in the developing world, teacher education, research methods and Islamic studies.
[…] This book responds to recent developments and debates in order to foster an awareness that is both beneficial and illuminating to the higher education community […] Presenting diverse and often competing views on all aspects of higher learning, this book will be a good reference tool for students and scholars of political science, Islamic studies, South Asian studies, comparative education, and culture and society. The volume gives insight into an ongoing process that is often regarded as "complete" in Europe and in the United States of America and provides a model for (developing) Muslim nations elsewhere to adopt and follow. Overall, the book offers the reader a good resource that serves as a reference for scholars interested in education and the politics of education. Its chapter separation works well to offer the reader a simple guide to follow, with information relatively easy to find. The book will serve students from different backgrounds as well as help researchers with case studies on Pakistan, education and Islamic studies.
