	Most children did not pursue their studies after elementary school. But adult classes existed and could be attended by anyone willing to listen. They involved lectures on subjects like Quranic exegesis, law, theology, logic or medicine. To become a master, a student had to participate in classes until he was deemed knowledgeable enough and given an ~~ijaza~~, a sort of diploma. These adult classes could take place in any large public space, especially in mosque courtyards. In the 11th century, the system developed further and became centered on the ~~madrasas~~, schools for adults funded by endowments provided by patrons.

	Some academic debate exists as to whether girls could attend public classes. Sharing class with boys and travelling to the kuttab could lead to "evils", such as harassment, aggression or simple conversation. It could also prevent girls from learning the domestic skills they were expected to acquire. The idea that they should be taught at home was therefore quite popular, even if exceptions did exist. Daughters of rich and scholarly families, for instance, would benefit from a thorough home education, and hundreds of women scholars' names are known. But this figure is dwarfed by the number of male ~~scholars~~ of the period.		Some academic debate exists as to whether girls could attend public classes.
