Not really I am half Arabic. While there has been many things that came out of the Arab world, including education. It has not been what it was for some time. In fact of most of the Arab countries, guess where the rich or royalty send their kids to be educated? :) Have we forgot which country discovered electricity, both AC and DC, created the light bulb, much less the microprocessor, and all the rest? Yet you really want to compare the educational background of this country to another. Even more so, roads, modern day cities, etc. The list of what other countries do to take after things we have done in the US, or US technology is endless. Only in a few cases have others improved upon our concepts. Most depend on them and are still trying to find a way to implement. Like making sure the entire country has electricity :) -- William L.
