🚨#BREAKING
General Mazloum Abdi @MazloumAbdi : We call on Kurdish families to send their children to schools where education is provided in the Kurdish language.

▪️ The Kurdish language is our identity.
▪️ Learning in the mother tongue is a natural right.
▪️ Developing the Kurdish language is a fundamental part of our struggle.

▪️ Over the past 14 years, despite the war, a Kurdish-language education system was built in Rojava. It was a historic step despite its shortcomings. We salute the families, teachers, and staff who maintained it.

▪️ Since the fall of the Baath regime one year and eight months ago, we have been working to officially include the Kurdish language in the Syrian education system. Despite the negotiations, the Ministry of Education’s decision was not sufficient, so the students and the people continued their struggle, and we stand with them.

General Mazloum Abdi: The Kurdish language is our identity, and education in the mother tongue is a natural right of the Kurdish people.

▪️ With the start of the school year, we are in a transitional phase. Children will continue their education in Kurdish while learning Arabic, and we call on families to send them to schools where Kurdish is the primary language, to ensure a successful transition and advance Kurdish education next year.

▪️ Ninth grade and the baccalaureate will follow the Autonomous Administration’s system this year. We ask students to continue according to the previous Kurdish education system to better secure their future.

▪️ Negotiations continue on the official recognition of Rojava University and Kobani University. We hope for an appropriate decision for students. Kurdish-educated baccalaureate students seeking admission should submit their certificate equivalency according to the Higher Education Ministry’s system.

▪️ We congratulate everyone on the new academic year and wish all students and teachers success.
