MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is (i) to state the objectives of higher education commensurate with Islamic requirements; (ii) to examine the current state of higher education in Muslim majority countries with reference to Islamic economics and finance (iii) to present a few suggestions for improvement The constraints of space, time and resources at our disposal do not permit us to present an all covering blue print on this vital subject. Instead of dealing with specifics, we shall focus on attitudinal and directional issues of evolution. We shall use data from Human Development Reports and the RePEc Archive for OIC member countries for our work. A comprehension of the desired magnitude may be lacking and we are conscious of the limitations of the approach the paper takes to the problem. Yet, we expect the exercise to be rewarding in lighting up a few dark corners in the area.
