Arabic is taught even in foreign schools
He said that the Ministry usually responds favorably to such proposals. “Even in foreign schools, we pay special attention to Arabic language learning. He also pointed out that Arabic language learning is a basic subject even in institutions that follow foreign curriculum. He also highlighted that there are linguists in the UAE who can develop the Arabic curriculum for schools in order to impart the Arabic language to the future generations.
Sultan’s response during the radio program
Sheikh Dr. was responding to the concerns raised by a Swadeshi listener on a radio program called Direct Line. Sultan bin Muhammad. They wanted Arabic to have its own textbook and not to merge it with other subjects. In full support of this demand, the ruler of Sharjah requested to review the decision of the UAE Department of Education. The Sharjah ruler said he hoped more people would raise the issue. He said that he was surprised by the decision of the Ministry of Education to merge the Arabic language curriculum with Islamic education and social studies and asked the ministry to reconsider this decision and clarified that this cannot be allowed.
Arabic requires special books
The new method introduced by the UAE Ministry of Education is to provide an opportunity to learn Arabic by avoiding special language books and teaching books of other subjects. However, the ruler of Sharjah is of the opinion that by making Arabic the medium of study, it is sufficient to learn other subjects, but it is not possible to acquire the Arabic language. He has made it clear that language books containing stories, poems, prose, poetry and grammar are required for language learning to be complete. The reaction of the UAE Ministry in this regard is not known.
