(Zaman al-Wasl)- A committee subordinate to Hasaka Education Directory of regime government started to test sixth grade students coming from schools which adopted Kurdish self-administration curriculum of Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Hasaka province. The regime education directory refused to register those students in the seventh grade in the beginning of the school year.
Activist Mahmoud al-Ahmad clarified that Hasaka Education Directory decided to conduct exceptional examination for those students. The successful ones will be accepted in the seventh grade in the school which adopt regime used curriculum and will confirm their registration in the record of schools subordinate to Ministry of Education in regime government. This is in an attempt to solve problems of dispute regarding school curriculum.
Al-Ahmad told Zaman al-Wasl the examination will be in science, mathematics, English and Arabic in the schools which are to receive those students who are considered dropped off from education.
He pointed out that education directory permitted for its staff to open houses as an alternative to schools seized by PYD in Qamishli and Malkiye. 14 private schools were allowed to have second shifts. This opened the door for these schools where al-Saade school in Qamishli announced start of the second shift for a fee of 25000 SP and that the school will adopt regime curriculum.
He added that students enrolled in schools of self-administration in Qamishli will be distributed on schools under regime control. The transfer will include students and administrators as well as school staff which Kurdish curriculum is imposed on.
PYD self-administration imposed Syriac language in addition to Arabic and Kurdish in the beginning of the year for primary schools in Hasaka amid fears from parents on their kids’ future in pre-university and university education.
Both sides conflicting in Hasaka are trying to impose their curriculum with are filled with their own ideology to educate children to adopt this ideology. PYD tried to impose a Kurdish curriculum in the schools in the northern countryside whereas regime continues to teach curriculum of the Ministry of Education subordinate to its government in Hasaka, Qamishli and some surrounding villages.
