Language decline endangers Egyptian identity

Egypt is facing an increasing crisis regarding the declining proficiency in the Arabic language among students. This poses a threat to cultural identity and national identity, leading to weakened language and spelling skills among the younger generations. Studies and reports indicate that the decline in reading and writing skills affects performance levels in universities and top colleges, where students frequently make spelling and performance errors, despite high secondary school results resulting from cheating phenomena. The causes of the problem include reliance on a foreign language-based education system, the rising use of social media platforms that promote colloquial and modern language forms, and the weak teaching of Arabic and insufficient teacher training. Proposed solutions involve re-evaluating curricula, developing teaching methods, improving teacher qualifications, and giving the Arabic language greater prominence within the educational process—starting from primary school—focusing on enabling students to master the language as a means of preserving identity and fostering cognitive development.
