Manama is the capital city of Bahrain. It is also the largest in Bahrain with a population of around 155,000 people. After being controlled by the Portuguese and the Persians throughout history, it gained independence in the 19th century. Bahrain has the oldest educational system in the Arabian Peninsula. The only schools available before the 20th century were Quranic schools which were solely for the study of the Qur’an. The first modern school was an elementary school opened in 1892 in Manama. The school took a long time to get established, as only a few parents approved of non-traditional religious education. There are a large number of educational establishments now, including Arabian Gulf University, Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance and Ahlia University.
