How Emirati children learn from the Mutawwa
The article highlights the evolution of the education system in Dubai, from traditional kuttabs that gathered children to teach the Quran and reading before the advent of modern schools, to the establishment of Al-Ahmadiya School in 1912 as an organized educational institution and the first systematic school in the emirate. It explains that initially, education was linked to memorization and rote learning, but gradually developed to include reading and writing, supported by merchants and benefactors. The system expanded to encompass other skills as the need for knowledge grew alongside the development of trade and urban growth.
