إذا لم يكن لديك الخيول فكيف ستفوز في المسابقات معناها : إذا لم تمتلك الأمة أصحاب المواهب والمبدعين فكيف ستتقدم في التنافس العالمي
A very interesting quote taken from Dr. Tarek Suwaidan.
This quote hits deep hard on the Arab world's reality . Arabs used to be the leaders of the world for centuries and others used to learn from us. Unfortunately Arabs did not raise again while other countries and societies raised by the help of the inventions and findings done by the Arabs. I believe that the Arab world is not raising again because people didn't focus on the roots of the society anymore. In my opinion education is the solid base for every revolution because schools are what give the world talented and well motivated citizens that are eager to the change the current situation in the Arab world. Our school systems are the ones to be blames for not being able to point out the talented people , not being able to help them improve and demotivating them . I believe if schools started to focus again on motivating the students to work, explore and invent our Arab world will raise again . We as teachers should build the students ' personalities on the love of knowledge and invention . Motivate students so that they can become the future Eben Sina and Khawarizmi of the Arab world ! Don't you miss having Arabs to be standing still again ? Personally i'm sick of seeing the Arab world played by outsiders !
Actually, Rama you highlighted the role of schools and the way we educate our children. But the question that should be raised is: what we teach our students? Unfortunately, the Arabic schools used to teach our children the western cultures, and apply the western curriculum and their books in our schools? Do westerns do so? They just criticize our culture, our education, and our way of thinking through which they reached the civilization, and unfortunately, we, Arab countries, ignored our thinkers' thoughts and we followed the western education and we imitated them blindly. They took the best morals of us and we took the worst of them.
ReplyDeleteThis is the sad reality of our world Rama,we are all sick of this situation. We were the leaders, how can we accept the fact that we are just followers now? We need to feel proud of ourselves again and you are right, spreading knowledge is the key and this makes our responsibilities as teachers heaveir. We have to wake up and start stimulating each other to make the necessary changes and stop mimicking the western societies. We have the talents and we have the brains, we just have to motivate them and use them.
