(Zaman Al Wasl)- Self-administration of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) opened registration in schools under its control on Tuesday after rejecting the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) offer to hand over 2,000 schools in the province of Hasaka to the international organization to end the problem of "curriculum dispute" in the province.
Despite the regime government's approval of the offer, the Kurdish administration announced in a statement that the new school year would start on September 12, noting that the registration of new students would begin on September 5.
(PYD) Self-administration said that about 13,000 teachers have been trained and 2000 schools have been equipped during the current school, according to the party's media.
In this context, UNICEF offered to regime government and (PYD) to hand over Hasaka schools in exchange for guaranteed salaries of teachers and teaching a standard curriculum for children throughout the province, according to the teacher underwent training courses organized by UNICEF for this purpose.
The teacher confirmed to Zaman al-Wasl that the education department of the government of the regime approved the offer while (PYD) refused to hand over the schools and insisted on teaching its own curricula in pre-university stages.
He added that UNICEF organized three training courses for teachers for the first, fourth, seventh and tenth grades in the schools of Abu Dhar al-Ghafari and al-Tijara in Hasaka city. He pointed out that a corrupted process took place by putting forth unqualified teachers for these trainings and choosing some administrative staff to attend these trainings under pretext of lack of teachers since UNICEF will pay $ 100 per teacher who underwent trainings that ended at the end of last month.
Last month, (PYD) disrupted UNICEF work to set up schools to teach children at al-Mabrouka camp in rural Hasaka, on condition of using its own curricula to allow the start of the educational process.
