Says language is a major factor in employability in the Gulf

A national Arabic conference held at Calicut University under the banner of the Wisdom Islamic Students Organisation on Sunday demanded that finishing schools be set up in the State. “A large number of our professional students are depending on jobs abroad, particularly in the Gulf. Language is widely considered a barrier for our students, and that affects their employability skills,” the conference pointed out.

A resolution passed by the conference pointed out that the problems in communicating through a new language could be solved to a great extent by adding finishing schools to minority coaching centres in the State. The government should set up centres to promote foreign languages, including Arabic.

The conference also asked the government to end the discrimination in offering elective languages for higher secondary students. Higher secondary students should be given choice to select second languages like Arabic, Urdu, and Sanskrit.

The conference also demanded that university syllabi be revamped in accordance with the demands of the changing times. Habeebullah Khan, head of Arabic Department at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, inaugurated the conference. Wisdom Islamic Students Organisation State vice president P.P. Naseef presided. P. Abdul Hameed, MLA, was the chief guest. Wisdom youth wing president C.M. Sabir Navas, Jamia Al-Hind Al-Islamia director Faizal Ahamed, and organizing committee chairman P.M. Shahul Hameed spoke.
