Bangsamoro’s Arabic language, Islamic values boost a step towards inclusivity
In line with boosting the inclusivity in the country, Lanao del Sur 1st District Representative Zia Alonto Adiong has called on lawmakers to take into account the value of the Muslim community and the Islamic heritage. This, as he expressed support to Senate Bill 382 which seeks to institutionalize Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education or the ALIVE Program in all public and private basic education schools nationwide as it will serve as a “positive step” to further boost inclusivity in the country. “I think it’s a positive step towards building a more inclusive society. Taking into account the value of the Muslim community and the Islamic heritage that our country has built upon and shared with our neighbor countries in the ASEAN region,” Adiong told the Daily Tribune on Monday. Following the end of the Holy month of Ramadan, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian reiterated his call for the legislation of the bill he authored, which seeks to promote, strengthen, respect and preserve Muslim Filipinos’ distinct historical identity, culture, customs and traditions, especially of those residing outside the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Under SB 382, the Department of Education-accredited and recognized private “madaris” or community-operated Islamic schools outside BARMM will be given technical and financial assistance. Once enacted, the measure allows public schools and private madaris located outside BARMM to get aid for improving their teaching facilities, school furniture, upgrading equipment, as well as printing of relevant textbooks and other instructional materials. Gatchalian, who chairs the Senate Committee on Basic Education, said the ALIVE Program also covers the training and capacity-building for “asatidz” or Muslim educators, including the training of trainers, supervisory workshops, and administrators seminars. The proposed measure also stated that non-Muslim Filipino learners, who are willing to study either Arabic Language or Islamic Values Education subjects or both can avail of the program, provided that it is expressed in writing by their parents and guardians. It also covers learners in the Alternative Learning System. Speaking as one of the BARMM representatives, Adiong sees many good opportunities for the economy, aside from enabling cultural and traditional inclusivity, if the bill is enacted into law. “It would also provide employment for many of our Arabic teachers who have been struggling below minimum wage for the longest time,” Adiong said. “With this proposed measure, they would become an official part of our mainstream educational system which opens up for their access to government loans and other social and medical services and in return, a good investment as well on the part of the government because it would widen the scope to cover potential revenues as a form of immediate collections as a form of withholding taxes on regular government employees.” So far, the BARMM government is supporting at least three standard Madrasah curricula in the region, recognizing two Madaris from Maguindanao I, 10 from Maguindanao II, 14 each in Lanao del Sur I and Lanao del Sur II, 20 in Marawi City, nine from Basilan, three in Lamitan, four in Sulu, three in Tawi-Tawi and Cotabato City with eight schools. There are about 117 SMC implementers in total, benefiting from the BARMM’s financial assistance, with 20 percent of the grant will be used to improve classrooms and other school operations while the other 80 percent will go through teaching services, including the staff salaries. Gatchalian underscored that institutionalizing the program through the passage of SB 382 will also benefit all other Madaris schools and teaching personnel nationwide as it also ensures that non-BARMM Muslim residents will also get quality education on the Arabic language and Islamic values.
