“Qahwa ‘Al Mafraq”: Do We Study to Understand… or Memorize to Pass?

“Qahwa ‘Al Mafraq”: Do We Study to Understand… or Memorize to Pass?

Is the purpose of education to gain knowledge and understand the world around us, or to memorize what’s in the textbook to pass an exam?

At our latest session at Montada Sabeen, we opened a discussion on education and textbooks, exchanging questions and ideas about what we learn, how we learn, and what stays with us after school ends.

The session ended, but the conversation didn’t! Some questions lead to others, and some ideas deserve to be revisited and explored from new perspectives.

**Now, it’s your turn to choose the topic of our next gathering!**
