      ab: The article "Scientific Skepticism: From Arab Doubt to a Global Pandemic" examines the role of education in combating scientific skepticism and conspiracy theories, particularly in the Arab world. It argues that educational reforms are essential for fostering critical thinking and rationality, which are necessary to differentiate between reliable information and misinformation. The research highlights the negative impact of totalitarian regimes on intellectual discourse and emphasizes the need for a curriculum that promotes scientific education and media literacy to counteract skepticism and enhance public understanding of scientific facts, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article calls for a global effort to rebuild trust in scientific institutions and improve communication strategies to address the growing skepticism towards science.
