Make Arabic compulsory not Pashto
The KP government has decided to make Pashto a compulsory language
in the educational institutions of the province. I beg to differ on
this. Despite being from a basically Pashto speaking family settled
in Chitral, I would recommend we make Arabic compulsory instead of
Pashto. By learning Arabic, we shall understand the meaning of our
prayers and the words of the Quraan and shall not be dependent on
others to translate and interpret it for us, which gives rise to
many problems.
What will we achieve by learning Pashto compared
to learning Arabic? I would rather recommend to make Arabic a
compulsory language in all schools of the country including the
English medium Schools.
