Studying Secular Sciences in the Middle East

In fact, the reality is that education in secular science subjects is actually more dominant in the Middle East.

For most Indonesians, education in the Middle East, especially higher education, is associated with "Islamic education".

What is meant by "Islamic education" here is education to study Islamic sciences, such as fiqh (Islamic law), ushuluddin (philosophy), tafsir (interpretation) and hadith science. That assumption could be because they think that the Middle East is an "Islamic region".
