Syrian Kurds Aim to Protect Kurdish Education
The report discusses the efforts of Syrian Kurds to preserve the teaching of their native language amid Damascus’s attempts to reassert its authority over regions that enjoyed autonomous governance. The Ministry of Education issued a decree allowing the teaching of certain subjects in Kurdish in predominantly Kurdish areas, with Kurdish language instruction limited to three weekly sessions. This move sparked protests from students and parents who believe it does not meet their demands for full education in Kurdish. The issue is sensitive, as the Kurdish language was banned during Assad’s regime, flourished during Kurdish self-rule since 2012, but now faces new restrictions as Kurdish influence declines following the government’s control over the officially recognized Kurdish-majority regions. There are also protests and reservations regarding the implementation of the new curriculum. Kurdish leaders aspire to ensure full Kurdish-language education, while officials warn of the difficulties in translating the entire curriculum, especially in science and mathematics. The decree is considered a preliminary step, but it falls short of Kurdish aspirations.
