Setting the greater stage

An interesting article passed me by last night. It was Arab News (at https://www.arabnews.com/node/2541361) giving us ‘Arabic Language Month in India organized by Saudi Arabia’. We are given “The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language has launched Arabic Language Month in India, reported Saudi Press Agency. The program will run in New Delhi and Kerala until July 26”. It is a clever setting and it is a new take and a larger take on increasing the stage they face. Saudi Arabia needs workers and it needs to increase their cultural footprint. This is an interesting way to do this. The language stage allows for Saudi Arabia to show what they have to offer whilst at the same time increasing knowledge of the Arabic language. In those places they could also start filtering if a person would suit living and working in Saudi Arabia. It comes with the added setting of “Additionally, it will highlight Saudi Arabia’s efforts in this field in line with the objectives of the Human Capability Development Program, one of the Saudi Vision 2030 realization programs”. Even if you do not agree, this is a Saudi initiative “the directives of Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, the Saudi minister of culture, to further the Arabic language locally and globally” the additional part comes that Saudi Arabia has thousands of jobs in 10 sectors. With that and the stage where Saudi Arabia is one of the highest paying employers in the region, we see an option for hundreds of Indians. Should this work out the way I think it could work out (for Saudi Arabia that is), places like Aramco and several places in hospitality and Tourism would enjoy an increasing workforce for some time to come. For the students there is the option to gain linguistic skills so that they start their new position with increased levels of knowledge. All plus sides. There is also the upsides for teachers towards globalisation. 

Wednesday is upon me (06:00), so I am about to enjoy the day with a helping of breakfast. Enjoy yours.
