A Saudi-run business has reached an agreement with a group of private colleges in southern Thailand to improve the Arabic language proficiency of Thai individuals.

Koddari Binsen, chairman of the Private Schools Association Confederation of Southern Thailand, claimed that many people in Thailand is read Arabic but are unable to comprehend the meaning.

At the filing of a memorandum of understanding with the Saudi Arabian learning organization Arabic for All, he said on Thursday that pupils at secret Muslim universities are taught how to study Arabic in the Koran but never use it in everyday life.

Several Thai workers have applied for the Royal government’s quota to work in the Middle Eastern nation because the majority of them, he said, cannot understand Arabic.

Mr. Koddari expressed wish that the deal will improve Thai children’s understanding of Arabic.

Saleh Bin Nasser Al- Dalaan, a supervisor at Arabic For All, said the company has been advocating for Arabic language learning in 54 states, including Thailand.

Arabic for All team members in Satun province are currently training Thai teachers, he said.

He added that the MoU may lay the groundwork for more creation of Arabic language training between the two nations.

The Office of Private Education Commission’s secretary-general, Monthon Parksuwan, claimed the arrangement was intended to advance Thai kids ‘ understanding of the world as well as advance Arabic language instruction.

Additionally, Mr. Monthon said, it may foster respect in the Arabic world and regional cooperation.

It demonstrates a shared desire to improve learning and broaden historical perspectives, he said. Language and cultural trade are important in this interconnected and global world, particularly the third-largest spoken language in the world, Arabic.
