Question 3 It was about the differences between Islamiyah and Qur'anic schools The answer to this question was also one-sided, whereby all the interviewees put to the interviewer that the curriculum of Islamiyyah schools is more comprehensive than that of Qur'anic schools and therefore more accommodating in terms of teacher and student numbers
