Scavenger Hunt! (Week 5)

1. Where was the first University established and in which year?
About the world's first university wrote, 'Indeed there is evidence that it was in the year 700 BC that the first university was born. It was in Taxila or Tashashila which is now part of Pakistan which catered to address the need for higher education of more than 10,000 students from neighboring and far regions of the east. Taxila used to be part of India, a country with a diverse mix of culture and way of life. Debates ensue as in the modern sense Taxila may not be considered a university and that it is Nalanda, established in 427 AD as the first to fit the criteria of being a university with a more formal, systematic and organized operation for higher education.'
