Summary: | Quranic schools (QS) play a central role in the education system in the Islamic world. Despite their relatively small numbers, QS teachers play a major role in introducing Islamic values to the public. Thus, working with QS becomes a key strategy in influencing local Islamic discourse.

Results suggest that this approach offers advantages for addressing the challenges inherent in engaging these schools. |
