Meeting of experts and coordinators for the "Mishkat" program

On October 26, within the framework of the second annual session of the "Mishkat" distance learning program of the Arabic language, a coordination meeting was organized with specialists who give lectures to teachers whose profession is related to the Arabic language. Adel Burawi, advisor to the director general of ICESCO (The Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), started the speech. He wished the experts good luck and suggested that they express their suggestions and points of view. One of the organizers, Dr. Muhammad Ismaili Alawi, introduced the program of this year's session.

After that, each expert was given a floor, and they shared their recommendations to increase the effectiveness of the lessons based on their previous experience. For example, according to Khaled Atrash, if the participating groups familiarize themselves with the material of the lecture and prepare a few questions, it will give a positive result in mastering the topics. For that, at least 25 pages of material and a 3-page summary of each lecture are prepared. One of the experts, Mustafa Jagbub, spoke about the importance of evaluation and expressed his opinion about the final exams. The organizer, Dr. Sana Al-Hilali, expressed the possibility that the final exam could be approved between the two periods. Habib Magrawi emphasized the need for pre- and post-lecture preparation, not limited to academic lessons. Thus, the opinions of all experts were taken into account. According to Dr. Ismaili Alawi, it was not easy to choose specialists who will give lectures, because the requirements for them are not easy: in addition to the academic degree of experts, communicative and educational experiences are emphasized.

Basically, about ten groups of teachers from African and Asian countries participate in the "Mishkat" program. After the experts, the coordinators of the participating groups spoke. From Kazakhstan, the head of the Department of Religious Studies and Cultural Studies of the Kazakh National University, Professor Kurmanaliyeva Ainur Durbelengovna and the senior teacher of the mentioned department Alikbaeva Marzhan Bashanov participated. After answering the questions related to the course of study, the experts were presented with certificates and the said event ended.
