The year 2015 has been an eventful year all over the world, but most especially in the Muslim world. In this year, calamities that began much earlier have resulted in massive trauma in many Arab and Muslim states. We have witnessed the mass exodus of millions of refugees from countries like Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and so on. This dislocation, in addition to the permanent trauma it causes, especially on the children, is bound to have longlasting social and educational implications. This brings to bear the necessity of reflecting upon the social aspects of education in a Muslim society.
