TEACHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT ARABIC ABOLITION
Thursday, 30 May 2013 14:37 |
Arabic based teachers in schools of Wau, Western Bahr El Ghazal,
complained about the state education ministry’s ultimatum abolishing
lessons in Arabic in primary one and two.
More than eight secondary schools in Wau, which have been delivering
lessons in Arabic despite the national policy of shifting to English,
have been asked to stop giving lesson in Arabic Language.
Yesterday, the state Ministry of education announced to all secondary
schools that teachers should start giving lessons in English and that
Arabic lesson should be taught in senior only.
Teachers welcomed the initiative but said they would face many
challenges since they are not fluent in English.
Sabri Adam, who teaches in Muktar Girls Secondary Wau, said his school
has been given the topics which are to be covered, but no textbooks.
He complained that it will be very difficult to teach in a language
the students do not understand.
Teacher Marko Madut, welcomed the new initiative of the ministry.
He said teachers received the syllabus which only gives references on
lessons to be covered but it will be difficult getting the sources
since there are no libraries in Wau.
Akeng Alex Akok said teachers were committed to implement the
government policy and he would put much effort in order to bring up
the students he teaches.
The secondary schools affected by the English language policy include
Wau Girls, Mbili Girls, Muktar, Mustafa, South Sudan Independents,
Girinti and Abyei.
