“Centres of learning at Walala, Djenna, and Timbuktu had a singular impact on African education in d medieval times.”

“The University of Sankore one of the foremost intellectually inspired in the world...If the University of Sankore had not been destroyed; ...If the University of Sankore had survived the ravages of foreign invasions, the academic and cultural history of Africa might have been different from what it is today.”
