Many of the same terrorist organizations that threaten the United States also desire to overthrow the Saudi Government and break our partnership with the government. It is a key member of the Coalition to Fight ISIS. In 2016, Saudi Arabia adopted strict laws prohibiting fundraising for terrorism, jointly designated support networks for al-Qaeda and the Taliban. However, the Saudis still have much more they need to do at home to counter the sources of extremism in the region. The battle against terrorism will ultimately have to be fought and won on the battlefield of ideas. The Kingdom is playing the role of both arsonist and firefighter when it comes to Islamic extremism. Nowhere is this more evident than the textbooks Saudi Arabia produces to teach young people. For too long, Saudi Arabia's education curriculum has inspired the very ideology that is at the root of many terrorist organizations like ISIS and al-Qaeda. Saudi textbooks are full of anti-Semitism, conspiracy theories, and calls to violence that have incited students both at home and across the world. This poisonous ideology has provided the groundwork for generations of extremism. ISIS adopted official Saudi textbooks for its schools in 2015 until that terrorist organization could publish its own textbooks. Its export of hateful material through Saudi-funded schools abroad has helped spread the toxic ideology to more tolerant and open Muslim communities in countries such as Kosovo and Indonesia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On 17 April 2020, eleven soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) were killed during a battle with 40 fighters of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in Patikul town, in the Sulu region of Mindanao, southern Philippines. The ASG had apparently ambushed the troops during the latter's operations aimed at tracking down two senior ASG figures, Radullan Sahiron and Hatib Sawadjaan-the leader of the Philippine branch of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) global terror network. The firefight between the pro-ISIS ASG and the AFP forces was apparently the bloodiest in months. This encounter occurred in the midst of the worldwide novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak that had not spared the southern Philippines as well. A government spokesperson acknowledged the strain on the armed forces, who were on "the forefront as the government's arm to prevent the spread of the dreaded disease on the one hand", while simultaneously engaged in "battling this terrorist Abu Sayyaf Group""--

Download or read book Education System in Saudi Arabia written by Md. Muddassir Quamar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive study on the education system of Saudi Arabia, placing the reforms and changes it has undergone in the past two decades within the context of the historical evolution of the education system. An education system cannot be seen in isolation of the society; it plays a significant role in shaping the individual, state and the society, that in turn, have a bearing on the education system and its evolution. Therefore, this book locates Saudi education in the backdrop of the changes in the society, how they have facilitated or hindered the education reforms and how the education reforms have impacted the society. The book does not ignore the immediate trigger for the beginning of a comprehensive reforms process but goes beyond it to find much deeper socio-political and economic rationales that paved the way for the reforms. It provides a nuanced understanding of the interplays of various socioeconomic as well as political factors that have shaped the education system in Saudi Arabia.
Download or read book Saudi Arabia s Curriculum of Intolerance with Excerpts from Saudi Ministry of Education Textbooks for Islamic Studies written by Nina Shea and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After September 11, 2001, complaints were voiced around the world, including by the U.S. government, that Saudi Arabian schools demonize the West and the "other." Senior Saudi government spokesmen also acknowledged this as a problem, and have repeatedly pledged that reform is underway or completed. This report was written in response to concerns over whether adequate reforms have been implemented in the Saudi government's educational system. Findings contradict Saudi Arabia's public claims that it has removed material encouraging intolerance from its educational texts. Given the closed nature of the Saudi regime, Freedom House was unable to conduct a comprehensive review of all textbooks and curriculum used in the country. It is not possible to say precisely how these textbooks are used on a day-to-day basis. The fact that the Ministry of Education continues to publish the books described in this report, and that they were provided to the Institute for Gulf Affairs researchers by families of children and others associated with the schools, however, was judged sufficient to make them worthy of study and discussion. As demonstrated by excerpts from the dozen current Islamic studies textbooks analyzed in this report, the Saudi public school religious curriculum continues to propagate an ideology of hate toward the "unbeliever," (Christians, Jews, Shiites, Sufis, Sunni Muslims who do not follow Wahhabi doctrine, Hindus, atheists and others). This ideology is introduced in a religion textbook in the first grade and reinforced and developed in following years of the public education system, culminating in the twelfth grade, where a text instructs students that it is a religious obligation to wage militant jihad against infidels in order to "spread the faith." Information about the Islamic Saudi Academy is appended. (Contains 136 endnotes.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saudi Arabia is witnessing unprecedented progress in the field of higher education. Even though the country opened its first university in 1957, so far there seems to be little English scholarly writing about Saudi education in general and higher education in particular. The current expansion of Saudi Arabia's higher-education system has put a spotlight on this serious gap in the international literature. This book helps to fill this lacuna through the work of 16 scholars who have contributed to the development of the Saudi education system. In so doing, the book reveals areas where more research is required and thus provides a useful starting point for education scholars. This anthology is unique in that it is the first to offer a comprehensive perspective on the current knowledge base pertaining to Saudi higher education as well as to the ongoing efforts to introduce reforms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first academically rigorous description and critical analysis of the Higher Education system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and of the vision, strategies and policy imperatives for the future development of Saudi universities. The government of Saudi Arabia has recognized in both policy and practice the necessity of developing its university system to world-class standard. Significantly increasing access and participation in Higher Education across a range of traditional and non-traditional disciplines is directly relevant to the future social and economic growth of the country. This book addresses the way in which Saudi Arabia is moving to develop a quality university system that balances the need for students to gain the knowledge, skills and ‘ways of doing’ necessary to operate effectively on the world stage while simultaneously maintaining and demonstrating the fundamental values of the Islamic religion and culture. The book provides a description and critical analysis of the key components of the Saudi Higher Education system, and of system-level responses to the challenges and opportunities facing Saudi universities. It is written by a team of Saudi academics and authors of international standing from non-Saudi universities so as to provide both internal and external perspectives on all issues and to place information and ideas in the context of the international Higher Education scene.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of an English curriculum, called Traveller, newly implemented in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was investigated. The research identified advancements in the new curriculum that contributed to better achievement of academic goals in English language study. In 2011 the Ministry of Education introduced new teaching approaches; of the four new methods that the Ministry of Education adopted in secondary schools, this research focused on the Traveller curriculum. Senior secondary female students and English language teachers were chosen as participants to evaluate this new method. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were applied. The results showed that the Traveller method has brought remarkable benefits to the teaching and learning process. The majority of the students thought it was a valuable learning experience, and students worked harder because they found that the course challenged them appropriately. Therefore, this research shows that the introduction of this new approach positively impacted student achievement. Furthermore, the credit system showed success, as 63% of the students agreed that it increased their desire to learn.
