Education in Al-Khilafah Rasullalah

Education in Al-Khilafah Rasullalah is free until the age of 25. Furthermore, it is compulsory from age of 6 to the age of fifteen.

Elementary education

Beginning at the age of six, Al-Khilafah children are taught reading, logic/comprehension, speaking and listening skills, spelling/grammar, addition, subtraction and multiplication tables, science, music and practical skills as well as their religion (for example, Muslim children are taught about Islam).

Controversially, they are also taught certain traditional gender roles and pledge allegiance to the Caliph and the motherland, these two facts being true regardless of the religion of the students.

Middle school

From the ages of 11 to 13 (girls) or 12 to 14 (boys), students attend Middle-school.

Girls move up the school years earlier based on studies suggesting their brains develop earlier, which is also reflected in their higher average grades in exams.

Middle school is similar to elementary school in the choice of subjects but they are taught at a more advanced level, in addition there is more physical training/sports and more citizenship class.

In addition, teaching about gender roles includes teaching girls to be monogamous.

Secondary education

Beginning at 13 for girls and 14 for boys, they are given a choice to specialise in a certain subject: literature, preaching (which includes teaching about Philosophy and about religion, other religions as well as their own), science, trade and commerce, craftsmanship, or any other subject they would be interested in pursuing for a future career.

Craftsmanship is taught through standard apprenticeship whilst literature, preaching and science are taught through academic instruction.

Trade and commerce can be taught either through academic instruction or a seven year degree apprenticeship.

High school exams are most commonly taken at 16 for young women and most commonly 17 for young men.

Al-Khilafah Cadet Legion operates in all secondary schools as do elected student councils.

higher education

Higher education is paid for by the state.

Many professions including teaching, legal advocacy, religious scholarship and leadership , medicine, dentistry, engineering, nursing, architecture and policing require higher education.

Training as an officer in the Armed forces requires either higher education or passing an entrance exam.

95.5% of politicians have higher education, the three most common professions being philosopher-theologians, jurists and military officers.
