Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Foundation, ICESCO to Promote Arabic Language in Chad

The Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Foundation and the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO), through the latter's Regional Educational Center, are preparing to launch a project to promote the Arabic language in Chad.

The project aims to promote the language, boost its status at Arabic schools, and teach Arabic to non-native speakers in several primary schools in Chad.

This will be achieved by utilizing the "Arabic Language Learning Series for Non-Native Speakers," issued by the foundation through Umm Al-Qura University, and supporting it by providing the necessary educational tools to achieve its objectives, such computers, printers and projectors, along with developing an implementation plan to regulate the mechanisms of their use in the educational process, training teachers, and teaching students.

The project comes within the framework of the memorandum of understanding and cooperation signed between the foundation and the organization to support the project of teaching the Arabic language in non-Arabic-speaking countries.

It reflects the awareness of the cultural role of the Arabic language in preserving Arab and Islamic identity and bolstering cultural communication among various peoples and civilizations.

In its first phase, this project, which will be implemented at 20 primary schools in various regions of Chad, is expected to benefit 40 teachers and 600 students.
