I wonder why UNESCO and Guinness do not recognize those Christian monasteries then. Perhaps they did not confer degrees or certificates of scholarly competence (ijazahs) the way that al-Qarawiyyin did.

    My nephews gets stars stickers when he successfully learn something, does it qualify as degrees and its school qualify for university?

    UNESCO can say whatever they want, it never have been a university in the sense that 90% of the population would not identify it as a university... An ersatz of university? Yeah sure if it make you feel better...
