The renowned Palestinian writer and poet Khalil al-Sakakini and his wife in the village of Artas in 1930. Anyone between the ages of 60 and the early 50s knows this towering figure in education who authored the Arabic language curriculum for all grades in the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula during their early years of independence. Students would reach the fifth grade able to read a newspaper fluently and without any errors or stammering, and they also possessed excellent writing skills.
Then, these curricula were replaced with others, and now we see many students graduating from university with stumbling over their reading, not to mention their spelling mistakes and poor handwriting.
