Abstract
This study aims to study the position and future path of Jawi writing in the Southern Thailand. Specifically, this study will be conducted in eight religious secondary schools in Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat. This study also aims to get a true picture of the position, development and level of mastery in Jawi writing among students in the selected religious secondary schools. To achieve this purpose, this research combined the quantitative and qualitative approaches in research. Data on the management, the handling and the development of jawi writing in the schools involved were obtained from the schools directly using questionnaires and interview methods. In addition, library research was carried out to gather additional information to support the analysis of the findings of the study. Results of the study showed that the development of jawi writing among the students in the religious secondary schools in Southern Thailand is deteriorating and worrying all parties concerned. The majority of students did not have the skills to read and write in jawi satisfactorily, due to a few issues and challenges that can be explained as internal and external factors at the schools concerned. In relation to that, the future path of jawi writing in Southern Thailand can be summarised as being in a state threatened by near extinction. Therefore, it is only proper that this study can contribute useful new knowledge to enable all parties to take immediate action to solve the issue. The discussion raised is hoped to sustain the jawi script so that it can continue to be the medium of instruction in religious knowledge and to sustain the identity of the Islamic society in the three districts of Sothern Thailand.
