At the end of the activities of the seventh national conference of the Arabic language, which was held in the capital Rabat, the national coalition for the Arabic language stressed the importance of joining the efforts to advance the Arabic language as that collective responsibility is the responsibility of various official and unofficial institutions.
Participants stressed the need to respond to attempts to marginalize the Arabic language, whether by supporters of the vernacular or supporters of the French -speaking tide, as this constitutes a threat to national cultural identity.
The conference, which was held on February 21 and 22 at the National Library of the Kingdom, indicated its categorical rejection of all attempts to exclude the Arabic language from public life or to reduce its role in public institutions and departments.
It has also renewed its rejection of the continuous use of the French language in teaching within public schools, emphasizing the need to respect the Constitution and the laws which stipulate the importance of improving the position of the Arabic language.
The conference, which witnessed the presence of academics, thinkers, also called civil and political actors, to assume its responsibilities in the implementation of constitutional requirements linked to linguistic choices, and to the need to go the front in the establishment of the Arab Academy of Mohammed VI.
Participants welcomed the active role of civil society in the support of the Arabic language and the defense of its cultural position in the Kingdom, while emphasizing the need to strengthen its location with the Amazigh language to ensure the promotion of identity common cultural.
