The change from English to Arabic in the independent schools

The Supreme Education Council has announced that independent school must introduce Arabic as the main language in the education system.

The independent school has change there language from teaching the entire subject in English to the Arabic language. How that affected the students?

After teaching English language for almost 6 to 7 years now they suddenly change every thing to Arabic language this will affects the students in the future. The students struggled   in the process of learning English language consequently, they now must adapt to Arabic language again. However some student started from grade 1 to learn their subjects in English, then when they become in grade 9 for example, they have to study their math’s and sciences in Arabic, this will affect their grades and their understanding of the subjects.

I asked some students studying in independent schools about their opinions regarding the sudden changes in education language system, they said: ”this is a wrong   decision because we know that Arabic language is important to learn and this is our mother language but what about our future in the universities? What about if we want to study outside the country it will limit our choices?

Some students started translating the sciences from Arabic to English in order to understand.

I did a study about the satisfaction of the transfer from English to Arabic, where 70% of the students agreed that they should study math

and science and other subject in English.

Nowadays English language is one of the most important languages worldwide. So wherever a person goes, he/she must be able to speak English in order to communicate and interact with others. If a person wants to apply for a job he must know English very well and some times its required from him to be fluent in English more than Arabic.

It is important for the student to learn Arabic language because it is their mother language, but the most important thing is to study the language that they will use in their future life.

The movements from decision to another like studying first in English then to transfer to Arabic this will confuse the students.
