Kuttabs in Egypt unify children through mosque and church
In Egypt, Kuttabs constituted the first school for Egyptians before the advent of modern schools. They taught children in mosques and churches on the same mat, literacy, religion, reading, and writing. These humble environments were rich in moral values and respect for others. They played a vital role in unifying the nation’s children and fostering a spirit of coexistence between Muslims and Christians, also teaching Coptic language, prayers, and religious chants. Over the decades, Kuttabs still hold a symbolic place in Egyptian memory, reflecting a history of interaction and tolerance among different communities.
