Ministry Restricts Kurdish Language

The article focused on the Syrian Ministry of Education's decision to teach three weekly classes exclusively in Kurdish for social and humanitarian subjects, while continuing to teach scientific subjects such as science and mathematics in Arabic. This move has sparked protests from students and teachers who have been educated in Kurdish for years, considering that it violates their right to education in their mother tongue. This decision comes within the context of the Syrian government's attempt to unify curricula and the entire educational system after years of Kurdish autonomous governance. The Kurds are demanding an increase in Kurdish language classes or making Kurdish an official language, but this is met with rejection from the government, which believes that translating the entire curriculum into Kurdish is difficult to implement due to a shortage of teachers and the needs of university study. Students and parents express concerns about losing their linguistic gains, and the decision threatens to reintroduce marginalization and undermine Kurdish cultural rights. While the government's partial recognition of the Kurdish language is viewed as a transitional step, the Kurds insist on the full realization of their rights to education in their native language.
