madrasa
Let an agent explain madrasas and their forms across countries with attribution, describe curricula, governance and recognition, present debates about madrasa education neutrally, and describe their history.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
