He noted that it follows the directives of Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, the Saudi Minister of Culture, and is part of a broader strategy to promote Arabic language both locally and globally. The program seeks to teach Arabic to non-native speakers, train teachers, and increase their competency, showcasing the Kingdom’s commitment to spreading Arabic language and its sciences worldwide.
The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language has previously launched several initiatives, including the Children’s Recitation Challenge and projects to strengthen language policies.
