Al-Marsad newspaper: The writer, Aqel Al-Aql, commented on the introduction of music in general education programs within two years, from kindergarten to the rest of the grades in the school stages.
beauty and music
Al-Aql stated, in his article “Beauty and Music in the Classrooms”, published in the newspaper “Okaz”: “In a long-awaited statement, Professor Sultan Al-Bazai, chief executive of the Music Authority, confirmed that work is continuing as planned to introduce music into the curricula of public education within two years, starting from kindergarten and to the rest of the classes in the school stages, and will be attended by students.
thought and production
He stressed: “This is what we need as an alternative discourse to the discourses that have dominated society for decades that have led it to obscurantism and hostility towards joy and life itself. From anti-religious heresies, as they claim, we remember the concerts of breaking musical instruments in barbaric attacks organized by the dark currents in the period of affliction and not of awakening, as they claim.
Cost The worker the alien
He continued: “Imagine our schools in the next few years, there are the theatrical and musical arts and the teaching of philosophy. This is the environment that attracts people to learn and know, not to memorize and fill with information they do not have. The scenes from school books are torn up and thrown in the streets, especially those near schools, at the beginning of the school holidays. It was the greatest testimony that what was within the walls of the schools was done with indoctrination and the goal was to preserve and succeed at theoretical levels. In fact, students expressed their rejection of these curricula in several ways. The result, unfortunately, has been the accumulation of thousands of graduates without work or employment for them in government sectors without the need for unemployment disguised as it was called, the private sector has been simplified by that situation, as there are no laws obliging it to hire citizens, and recruit foreigners in simple jobs, and the reason is the question of the cost of the foreign worker. “
the button magical
He added: “Returning to openness in education is, in my opinion, the magic key to development in our country. Investing in the human element through modern education is what will impose Saudi Arabia and Arabia on the labor market. How many schools will the bands compete with each other in melody and playing national anthems or international music? The taste and musical taste at home is raised, the vision focused on the theme of culture and entertainment on which people dedicate a not simple part, and then it is considered a contribution to the national economy, the Kingdom, which is devoid of an artistic environment of musical institutes, theaters and cinemas, has an overwhelming presence in the Gulf and in the Arab singing scene, so imagine the situation The Kingdom is technically with this institution of the art and enlightenment project in our country unequivocally and clearly, the great thing is that the official institutions are the ones that play this enlightening role for the our country. There is no doubt that the remnants of the closed mind will be active against these beautiful national humanitarian projects and I will repeat the priorities, but I believe that art, in its many forms, has been a human need since the beginning of humanity, because the poor and the rich are made to love music and dance, for example, since they were on the field or on a digital stage in a modern city ”.
change and renovation
He continued: “I conclude with a response that has spread on social networks to the declaration of the head of the Music Authority, Professor Sultan Al-Bazai. The answer says in sarcastic language:” Imagine calling the principal of the school and telling you that your son did not attend the lute. “Such responses and speeches betray ignorance of the role of music in life. In general, and its role in various creative fields and economic benefits for countries, and such people present themselves with a language woody and ignorant against the change and renewal that we have been experiencing in our country in recent years “.
