In this context, the fourth forum deals with ancient education, represented by what the historical experience of African societies has created in terms of private educational institutions, which have always been roots of authentic knowledge, bridges of communication and happy coexistence, impenetrable fortresses, and calls for division and difference, incubators of the values of peace and brotherhood, and tributaries of Islamic authentic African identity.
