Analysis and history of
the concept of higher
education.
Let's discuss

What does
the word
"higher"
mean?
 Higher education is tertiary education leading to the award of
an academic degree. Higher education, which makes up a
component of post-secondary, third-level, or tertiary education, is
an optional final stage of formal learning that occurs after
completion of secondary education.

Higher education includes

teaching, research, exacting
applied work, as exists in medical
schools and dental schools, and
social services activities of
universities.
Acient history The oldest known institutions of higher education are credited to Dynastic
Egypt, with Pr-Anx (houses of life) built as libraries and scriptoriums,
containing works on law, architecture, mathematics, and medicine, and involved
in the training of "swnw" and "swnwt" (male and female doctors);
extant Egyptian papyri from the 3rd millennia BC are in several collections.
In the Greek world, Plato's Academy (c. 387 - 86 BC), Aristotle's Lyceum (c.
334 - 86 BC) and other philosophical-mathematical schools became models for
other establishments, particularly in Alexandria of Egypt, under the Ptolemies.
In South Asia, the city of Taxila, later the great Buddhist monastery
of Nalanda (c. 427 - 1197 CE), attracted students and professors even from
distant regions
In China, the Han dynasty established chairs to teach the Five Confucean
Classics, in the Grand School, Taixue (c. 3 - 1905 CE), to train cadres for the
imperial administration.All these higher-learning institutions became models
for other schools within their sphere of cultural influence.
In 425 CE, the Byzantine emperor Theodosius II innovated as he established
the Pandidakterion, with a faculty of 31 professors, to train public servants. In
the 7th and 8th centuries, "cathedral schools" were created in Western
Europe. the first Medresahs were founded in the Moslem empire – initially
mere primary schools in the premises of major mosques, which gradually
evolved toward secondary, later higher education. However high the
intellectual level of these schools could be, it would be anachronistic to call
them "universities".
the University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco is
the oldest existing continually operating higher
educational institution in the worldand is occasionally
referred to as the oldest university by scholars
