Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Regional governments in Spain are discontinuing educational programs focused on Arabic language and Moroccan culture following political agreements between the People's Party (PP) and Vox. In Aragón, the government cancelled the program across ten schools. While Vox defended the move as a way to “prevent the Islamization of Spain,” regional education officials justified the cancellation by citing a need to verify the professional status and criminal records of instructors. Critics and school directors have characterized the decision as “ideological and discriminatory.” In Andalusia, the regional government announced that the program will be discontinued in September 2027. The current cycle will serve as the final period for participation, as resources and enrollments were already established in coordination with the Ministry of Education and the Embassy of Morocco. The government noted that Arabic instruction remains available through language schools for students aged 14 and older. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Andalusia to end Arabic language and Moroccan culture program in 2027 Andalusia will discontinue its Arabic language and Moroccan culture educational program in September 2027 following a political pact between the PP and Vox. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/andalusia-to-end-arabic-language-and-moroccan-culture-program-in-2027 ### 2026-09-07: Aragón government cancels Arabic language and Moroccan culture program The Aragón government has abolished an Arabic language and Moroccan culture program in ten schools following a political pact between the PP and Vox. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/aragn-government-cancels-arabic-language-and-moroccan-culture-program --- Cite as: Spanish regional Arabic language program cancellations.
