Arab Universities Not On List Of 300 Best

The Jordanian daily Al-Dustour has reported that not a single Arab or Muslim university is included among the 300 best universities worldwide.

The paper also reported that none of the Muslim countries, some of which are extremely wealthy, are among the 20 countries that spend the most on research and development.

By contrast, India and China had 1.2 million students graduating last year with science and engineering degrees.
