Khaldunniyya
KHALDUNNIYYA
Tunisian educational society.
Khaldunniyya was founded by the Young Tunisians in 1896 and named in honor of the fourteenth-century Tunisian intellectual Ibn Khaldun. Intended to acquaint Tunisians who were illiterate in European languages with the contemporary European world, it offered instruction in Arabic in a wide variety of subjects. The organizers of the Khaldunniyya especially sought to reach Zaytuna University students in order to enhance their still largely traditional curriculum.
