Badrawi is the guest of honor for the annual festival to celebrate the International Day of the Arabic Language at the Young Muslim School in Benha.

Dr. Hossam Badrawi witnessed today, December 18, a wonderful celebration of the Arabic language holiday. The children and youth of the Muslim Youth School in the city of Benha presented before him the first simulation model of the House of Representatives to demand raising the level of the Arabic language in Egyptian schools under the auspices of Major General Abdel Hamid Al-Hagan, Governor of Qalyubia, and the supervision of the Directorate of Education Counselor Hamdi Abu El-Enein, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Muslim Youth Association, Mustafa Farag, the legal representative of the schools and association, Atef Salama, deputy director of the Education Directorate, Abdel Rahman Fath Al-Bab, Director General of the Benha Educational Administration, Dr. Ibrahim Rajeh, representing Benha University, and a number of professors and experts of the Arabic language at the university.

The model, which included representatives of the Parliament, the government and the relevant ministries, discussed a request for briefing from the student, Alla Taher, about “the decline and decline in the performance of the Arabic language and the impact of this on the identity of society and citizenship.” Speaking colloquial in schools, the media, and universities has become a general phenomenon, in addition to the use of foreign names on shops and institutions, the absence of theatrical performances in the classical language, the reluctance to refuse to use them in teaching applied and pure sciences in universities, and the low general level among young people, which affected the Egyptian identity, demanding the enactment of legislation criminalizing the abuse of the Arabic language.

While the representative of the government and the ministers concerned in the model pledged to place the new legislation, if issued, within the pillars of Egypt’s Vision 2030, and to stress that the Arabic language should be the mother tongue in speaking and studying in schools through the use of classical.

Dr. Hossam Badrawi commended the model, stressing that the model’s activities are comparable to the real sessions of the House of Representatives and reveal the presence of a promising new generation, and children and youth insisted on photographing with him after he sat on his knees among them.

Badrawi said that what happened in front of me sends an unparalleled positive energy, stressing that the pillars of Egypt’s Vision 2030 must include what guarantees the activation of the Arabic language, its advancement and its return to its glory. Egypt and the Arabic language for sophistication, transcendence and creativity.

Mustafa Abdel Hamid Farag, the legal representative of the Muslim Youth Association and Schools, said that the Arabic language is one of the Semitic languages ​​because it is the first language in the world and possesses an impregnable cultural arsenal.

It is noteworthy that this festival is held annually by the Youth School on this date, and it has achieved an unparalleled success, which was praised by the Arabic Language Department at the College of Education and the leaders of education as the most important event in the mission and performance in the past two years.

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
