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.
