The Korea Muslim Federation (KMF) said
Friday that it would open the first Islamic
primary school named ``Prince Sultan Bin
Abdul Aziz Elementary School'' next March
with the objective of helping Muslims in
Korea learn about their religion through an
official school curriculum. Plans are
underway to open a cultural center,
secondary schools and even university.
``We are preparing to open the school
from March 2009,'' KMF Secretary
General Kim Hwan-yoon told The Korea
Times. ``We will soon file an application to
establish the school.
``Many Koreans have distorted information
about Islam due to some disturbing incidents
committed in the past by Muslims, resulting
in few Korean converts to Islam. One of
our goals is delivering correct and unbiased
information about Islam to not only children
but also the general public. Of course, the
school will serve as a mission,'' Kim said.
The school will operate with the same
curriculum as other Korean primary schools
but every class will be taught in English.
``We plan to hire enough native English
teachers to run classes in the foreign
language,'' he said.
Apart from ordinary subjects, the school
plans to add Islamic studies and Arabic
language classes.
``Children who graduate from the school will
have no difficulty speaking not only in
English but Arabic. Students will not be
obliged to worship, which will take place
twice every day,'' the KMF head said.
The KMF develops school curriculum and
student exchange programs in collaboration
with Islamic organizations in Saudi Arabia,
Malaysia and Thailand.
Accepting students regardless of their
religion and nationality, tuition will not be so
high in comparison with other private
schools here thanks to enthusiastic financial
support from the Saudi Arabian
government, especially prince Sultan Bin
Abdul Aziz and the Korea Islamic Foundation.
Abdullah Al-Aifan, Ambassador of Saudi
Arabia to Seoul, delivered $ 500,000 to
KMF Friday on behalf of the Saudi Arabian
government.
KMF plans to establish secondary schools
and even a university here in the long run.
The federation will open an Islamic culture
center in Seoul by next year.
The Korean Muslim population is officially
recorded at 150,000 but Korean society
has failed to offer adequate social
infrastructure, particularly in education.
First Muslim School to Open Next Year
=============================
May Allah Ta'ala Bless the KSA
Unlike their neighbor who spend money to spread terrorism
KSA use their money to Spread Islam Worldwide
