Dr. Aishah Al Yammahi, Board Member of Miqyas Al Dhad, said, “Our partnership with the
Sharjah Private Education Authority underscores our commitment to fostering strong
stakeholder partnerships that drive forward national priorities, such as the advancement of
Arabic language education. This will be achieved through the implementation of a precise
standards-based ecosystem which is a critical foundation for enhancing reading proficiency.
With this step, we lay the groundwork for a pioneering national model in Arabic language
education that honours the language’s vital role in cultivating knowledge and reinforcing
cultural identity.”

th
Eyad Darawsheh, General Manager of Miqyas Al Dhad, said, “The 4 International Forum for
Arabic Language Teachers served as a dynamic platform to present the latest innovative
solutions in learning the Arabic language. As a result, it represented a prime opportunity to
introduce Miqyas Al Dhad as the first Arabic comprehensive framework and standard for
assessing text complexity and reading proficiency among native Arabic learners. By
categorising texts based on linguistic and cognitive complexity, and delivering precise
evaluations of reading abilities, Miqyas Al Dhad will promote improved learning outcomes
and empower educators through data-driven approaches.”

Additionally, Darawsheh emphasised that the collaboration with the Sharjah Private
Education Authority symbolises a shared commitment to coordinating efforts towards
enhancing Arabic language using standardised tools that elevate educational outcomes,
empower teachers, and strengthen the status of the language among its speakers.

During the forum, the Miqyas Al Dhad team participated in a virtual session titled ‘Miqyas Al
Dhad: Teaching Arabic Through Reading Standards’, led by Eyad Darawsheh. The session
explored the application of modern reading standards in Arabic language education, use of
assessment tools to identify text complexity, and importance of specialised learning
programs that address the needs of each student, analyse common errors, and develop
corrective plans.

Dr. Hanan Khalifa, Chief Academic Officer of Miqyas Al Dhad, participated in a discussion on
‘Strategies in Service of Arabic Education’. Participants looked at a variety of modern
educational methods, such as collaborative learning and problem-solving approaches, as
well as successful practical models of implementing these strategies.

Miqyas Al Dhad’s participation at the event underscores its steadfast commitment to
advancing Arabic language education and bolstering collaboration with regional and
international partners to foster the exchange of expertise and promote best practices in
educational measurements and assessments.
