The Kurdish National Council condemns the closure of private schools by the Autonomous Administration in Qamishli

Last Monday, the Kurdish National Council in Syria condemned the closure of the "Self-Administration" of the "SDF" and educational facilities and private schools in Qamishli, north of Hasaka.

The board of trustees of the opposition Syrian National Coalition stated that the administration’s decision came “a month after these institutes registered thousands of students and teachers in their seats, as the students paid their tuition fees and started the new academic year there.”

The coalition described this procedure as unjust and arbitrary, which caused general resentment among the population, and raised legitimate concern for the future of their children, by forcibly depriving them of continuing their recognized studies, which qualifies them to enroll in university education, in addition to helping provide social stability, despite what the parents bear. Students bear the costs Expensive in difficult living conditions.

The Council called for "providing ways for students to pursue their education away from ideological and partisan considerations, and placing it at the forefront of the issues it sought to address, stressing once again that these unjust and irresponsible decisions led to more emigration."

He believed that the "Self-Administration" decisions related to education exhaust "scientifically qualified cadres, deprive the Kurdish people of their right to freedom of education, directly threaten stability, and push people to new displacement and migration."

He denounced the decision, "which carries in its consequences a lack of respect for the freedom of choices of students and their families in educating their children and supporting and facilitating their university achievement efforts.

While calling for the annulment of the decision to close private schools and institutes, and to stop such unfair violations against students, which push entire generations towards ignorance and leaving the homeland.

The number of schools controlled by the “Autonomous Administration” in northeastern Syria is four thousand and seven hundred, capable of accommodating 878,000 students at the primary, preparatory and secondary levels, while the number of teachers is about 61 thousand.
