ADEK sets 240-minute Arabic mandate for kindergartens starting next academic year

ADEK Mandates Arabic in KG to Strengthen Language and Identity Abu Dhabi — In a move to nurture language, identity, and belonging from the very first years of learning, the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) has announced a new policy that will bring Arabic into every private and charter kindergarten across the emirate, starting from Pre-KG to KG2, beginning Fall 2025. Beyond literacy, it's about anchoring the next generation in their linguistic roots and establishing a strong foundation in the mother tongue from the very start. Under the new ADEK School KG Arabic Curriculum Policy, All young learners will receive 240 minutes per week of structured, age-appropriate Arabic instruction. This will increase to 300 minutes per week beginning in the 2026/27 academic year. The new policy ensures that every child, whether a native speaker or learning Arabic for the first time, receives consistent, high-quality instruction during the most critical phase of language development and has the opportunity to grow up confident in the language that connects them to their culture, community, and future. Why now? Because research is clear: children learn languages best when they're young and Arabic is not just a subject. It's a bridge to identity, values, and stories that shape who we are. ADEK's recent survey showed that while Arabic is widely spoken at home, many children still struggle to use it confidently. This policy bridges that gap with schools and families working together to keep Arabic alive and thriving. Learning will be engaging, built around play, storytelling, songs, and exploration. The policy outlines two tracks: one designed to deepen mother tongue skills for native Arabic speakers, and another tailored for non-native speakers and newcomers. This will ensure that each child is supported at their level, whether native speaker or beginner. And with specially trained teachers, modern materials, and exciting classroom activities, Arabic will become a language students look forward to using every day. 'This is about more than just adding Arabic lessons,' said Mariam Al Hallami, Executive Director Early Education. 'It's about giving every child in Abu Dhabi the gift of language, identity, and connection starting from day one. We want Arabic to feel natural, interactive and alive in every classroom and every home.' This new policy bridges the gap between Arabic learning in nurseries, implemented through ADEK's Early Education Institutions (EEI) policies, and the start of mandatory Arabic instruction in Cycle 1 in line with Ministry of Education requirements, supporting steady language development during the early years. Parents are also a big part of the journey. Schools will share tools and updates so families can join in the fun, whether practicing new words at home, reading stories together, or taking part in Arabic-themed school events. The new kindergarten Arabic curriculum is part of ADEK's bigger vision: to make Arabic not just something children learn, but something they live.

Victory for Virat Kohli's Bengaluru was also a triumph for cricket

Kudos to Bengaluru for winning the IPL title I write in reference to Ajit Vijaykumar's article IPL 2025: Cricket fortunate to witness final flourish of Virat Kohli's glorious career (June 4): it was a proud and unforgettable moment for Bengalureans, including myself, as we witnessed the final IPL T20 match played in Ahmedabad, where our Royal Challengers Bangalore side clinched a thrilling victory against Punjab Kings. This win marks a significant turning point in RCB's journey, as they secured their first IPL trophy after 18 long years of perseverance and dedication. The team's unwavering spirit, hard work, and unity were truly commendable and inspirational. RCB's victory sparked huge celebrations across Bengaluru, with fans expressing their joy and pride in grand fashion. The deep bond between Bengalureans and their home team was evident, turning the city's streets into a sea of red and gold. What made the moment even more special was the spirit of true sportsmanship displayed by Punjab. Despite the loss, they graciously acknowledged and applauded RCB's well-deserved victory, reflecting the essence of the game — that cricket, like any sport, should be played and celebrated with mutual respect and integrity. This final wasn't just about winning a trophy – it was about resilience, belief and the spirit of the game that unites millions. K Ragavan, Bengaluru, India We need a Gaza deal now I write in reference to the editorial Gaza cannot afford more ceasefire stalemate (June 2): the plight of the people of Gaza is really heart-rending. They are unable to access water, food and medicines. The area of land that they occupy has been shrinking in the current conflict. Their children are missing school for years now. Generations of children are losing the opportunity to build better lives. Hamas should release the remaining Israeli hostages as a sign of good faith. Perhaps, it will create an atmosphere of mutual trust and kindle a peaceful settlement eventually. I hope countries like Jordan, Egypt and the UAE lead efforts to restore normality in Gaza. The people of Gaza have the right to lead peaceful family lives, just as the rest of us do. Rajendra Aneja, Dubai US officials need to be neutral I write in reference to the The National 's Facebook post titled US Ambassador to Israel suggests Palestinian state on French Riviera (June 1): how can peace be negotiated and achieved when officials in government show no neutrality? Seventy-seven years of conflict and no one is adult enough to realise that endless wars do not benefit the planet or humanity. Why do influential people perpetuate this vicious cycle? Lalitha Omar, Durban, South Africa Violence should not be normalised I write in reference to Nagham Mohanna's article Three more Palestinians killed by Israeli army gunfire near aid centre in southern Gaza (June 2): the killing of innocent Palestinians has become normal, yet so few are talking about it. We will be answerable to our silence. Abdul Razak Yasin Jr, Dubai Dress respectfully I write to you in reference to the article 'This is how you dress at Dubai Mall': Viral post sparks fashion etiquette debate (June 1): I fully agree. Some tourists are dressing in a disrespectful way in a Muslim country. Nobody requests that you cover your hair or face, but pay attention at the signs at the entry of the malls and dress accordingly. Yes. As an expat, I was always astonished at the lack of respect for the culture. Thank you for this. Judy Garelli
