(Zaman Al Wasl)- People of Kafranbel city in the western countryside of Idlib province demanded on Sunday the National Coalition’s government to support the education process and to allocate needed fund to the schools as soon as possible.
Activists said that people of Kafranbel had filed a complaint to the Interim Government, saying, “We do not know with whom we can communicate to get fund or aid to the schools.”
In relevant development threatening the education process, Islamic State has shut all schools in areas it controls in eastern Syria pending a religious revision of the curriculum, residents and a monitoring group said on Friday.
Islamic State is tightening its rules on civilian life in Deir al-Zor province, which fell under near-complete control of the Islamist militant group this summer. The government still controls a military air base and other small pockets.
The announcement came on Wednesday, after Islamic State held a meeting with school administrators at a local mosque on the outskirts of Deir al-Zor city, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors all sides of the conflict.
