The Education of an Industrial Middle Class in Arab-Islamic Countries.

Odeh, Ibrahim Assad

International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift fuer Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue Internationale de Pedagogie, v39 n4 p307-17 Jul 1993

Suggests a model of industrial education for the Arab world to help create an industrial middle class. Reviews existing Eurocentric industrial training models and proposes a synthesis of these models with Arab-Islamic culture in a kind of "industrial university," the Djamiat Al-Sinah. Illustrates the proposed curriculum with a year-by-year chart of instruction. (TG)
