Advancing Arabic Language Teaching and Learning: A Path to Reducing Learning Poverty in the Middle East and North Africa Year of publication: 2021 Author: Laura Gregory | Hanada Taha Thomure | Amira Kazem | Anna Boni | Mahmoud Abduh A. Elsayed | Nadia Taibah Corporate author: World Bank The purpose of the present report is to identify and explore the evidence on factors that are leading to high rates of learning poverty in MENA countries. In addition, the report proposes a path for countries of the region to make the teaching and learning of the Arabic language—which are critical foundations for children in Arabic-speaking countries—more effective. The intended audience of the report is education stakeholders in the MENA region, including officials in ministries of education across the region, those responsible for education decision-making, teachers, academics, education administrators, parents, and nongovernmental organizations, as well as World Bank and partner organization staff tasked with supporting countries in their efforts to raise learning and human capital.The intention of the report is not to provide an Arabic literacy strategy for each country since countries of the region differ and each would need to have their own national dialogue. Instead, the report collates the relevant literature from the region and beyond, as well as local and regional initiatives, and offers guidance to countries to advance the teaching and learning of MSA. As such, the report does not focus on the broader issues of language use within each country. As part of the process of developing the report, a summary of the emerging evidence and recommendations was shared with a small group of teachers from two countries across the region in advance of a focus group discussion to explore local views. Unanimous agreement on the key findings and recommendations were expressed by these teachers. Further discussions on the topics raised in this report are expected to take place during the dissemination of this report and in the months and years to come, leading to greater consensus across stakeholders on the best ways to advance Arabic language teaching and learning.The report is structured in a way that first explores the incidence of learning poverty in the MENA region, followed by international evidence on the science of learning to read, and factors that are influencing Arabic language learning outcomes. The report then looks at some of the national strategies, policies, and initiatives already in place for Arabic language education, and proposes a path for advancing Arabic language teaching and learning, along with suggestions for regional collaboration efforts that could further support MENA countries.

إتاحة وتعزيز حضور اللغة العربية في المشافي Year of publication: 2023 Author: لوريا دلة، خلود إدريس، عيدان رينغميخال شوستر، لوريا دلة Public space in Israel constitutes a meeting point between Arab and Jewish citizens. This space includes health institutions, higher education institutions, cultural and artistic institutions, and others. The presence of the Arabic language in the public sphere is necessary in order to enable Arab citizens to achieve their basic right to obtain clear and reliable information in their mother tongue. The absence of the Arabic language from this sphere and its partial or incomplete presence carries an implicit message of exclusion and neglect of Arab citizens. Hospitals are an extremely important part of the public space, because they are entrusted with the protection of basic rights – the right to life and the right to health. In addition to their vital services, hospitals are among the main employment centers in Arab society, employing doctors, therapists and many other professional staff. Therefore, enhancing the presence of the Arabic language in health institutions may contribute significantly to disseminating and consolidating the values of common life and building a common society in Israel. The Ministry of Health gave this issue utmost importance in the Director-General’s Circular of 2011, specifying that “signage in health institutions must be compatible with the linguistic composition of the main population segments that receive services in these institutions.”Wherever possible, signs are available in three languages: Hebrew, Arabic and English.The “Sikkuy-Ofoq” association believes that within the framework of health care, the Ministry of Health and hospitals must also bear responsibility for creating an equal and shared space that includes Arab citizens and their language.This research aims to survey and evaluate the level of Arabic language presence in hospitals. The survey was conducted at the beginning of 2022 in 12 hospitals in various parts of the country, where a survey was conducted to determine the extent of the presence of the Arabic language in the different types of signage on the paths frequented by the largest number of visitors within the hospital space. Emergency signs, warning signs, directions and prohibitions signs, and signs to direct and facilitate movement. .The results and obstacles that we reached in the survey process are documented in the full paper, along with a series of recommendations that contribute to improving the situation, and they are directed to the Ministry of Health and hospitals.
