Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: The President of Mauritius, Dharambeer Gokhool, held a meeting with representatives from the Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Charitable Foundation on Wednesday.
They discussed efforts by the Kingdom's 'Arabic for Non-Arabic Speakers Curriculum Support Project' aimed at qualifying professionals in Arabic.
According to the Saudi Press Agency, President Gokhool commended the project for enhancing the presence of the Arabic language in educational institutions and praised its impact on teacher and student qualifications.
The Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Charitable Foundation is a non-governmental organization established in 1995 that operates various programs across sectors including education, healthcare, and social services.
In partnership with the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) and the Blue Crescent Society of Mauritius, the foundation concluded an Arabic language program in Mauritius on Saturday.
This initiative benefited approximately 375 primary school students from both genders.

In Mauritius, with a Muslim population of about 18 percent, Arabic is frequently employed in daily worship.
Additionally, more than half of the nation's 1.25 million inhabitants communicate predominantly in Creole, while the remainder speak Indian dialects like Bhojpuri, Tamil, Hindi, Urdu, as well as Chinese and English.
