For one, they're separated by a few hundred years? What "education system" can we even speak of, when "education system" in our current context is an artifact that is from late-19th Century Europe? Were there learned people back then? Of course! But an education system in the modern sense? Laughable. If you're going to bring the "Islamic Golden Age" up, maybe we should discuss how to improve our diplomatic relations with Sparta and the Scythians, as well?

It just seems to me that what is being called "Islamic education system" is likely not a monolithic institution. Is the system coordinated across countries and sects? What is the commonality between them? Is there a more specific definition of what constitutes such an education system or are there more specific details about where this system exists and who the (specific) people are who are being educated by it?
