Both the “Autonomous Administration” and the “coalition” government loyal to Turkey turned their own educational curricula into a tragic reality paid by residents of the areas under their control, in which one of three curricula is applied in each part: the “autonomy” curriculum and “coalition” curriculum, in addition to the Syrian government curriculum in some areas of Hasaka, Deir Ezzor and Manbij. This reality has led to record numbers in the number of dropouts from public education, despite the success of government efforts to absorb the largest percentage of students in Al-Hasakah governorate and Manbij city. However, thousands of people have been abandoned in the northern Aleppo countryside, Raqqa and the Deir Ezzor camp. Here, the suffering of students in the Raqqa city and its countryside regions, Ain al-Arab and Srin, and the northern cities in Hasaka governorate is evident through the insistence of the “Autonomous Administration” on implement their curricula, while applying the “UNICEF” curriculum in rural eastern and northern Deir Ezzor.
Despite the absence of official government statistics on the number of dropouts from public education, rough figures obtained by “Al-Akhbar” show that nearly one million students have dropped out this year. According to the statistics of the “Autonomous Administration”, more than 900,000 students study in more than 4,092 schools in the areas that they control through their own curriculum, in contrast to almost 100,000 that study in the areas of Tal Abyad, Ras al -Ain, Afrin, al-Bab, Azaz and Jarablus who are under the control of pro-Ankara factions through the curriculum. Also special for the latter. Similarly, no information is available on the number of children who cannot read or write and who did not enroll in school, and they are often scattered in rural areas of rural Aleppo, Hasaka, Deir Ezzor and Raqqa. Sources interested in educational matters indicate that “the statistics of the Autonomous Administration and the Coalition are exaggerated, and a large percentage of these students may not be able to read or write.” Noting that “there are no figures on the number of students leaving the Idlib governorate, because the center of the governorate is outside the control of the government, and terrorist groups spread in it.”
Manbij is the only survivor
Students from Ain al-Arab and Srin, in the Aleppo countryside, and the city of Raqqa and its countryside, pay the highest price for adhering to the “self-management” curricula, because there are no schools that embrace education government, in addition to the difficulty of sending students from those areas to the countryside under government control, due to many factors, the most important of which is the young age of the children and the geographical distance. The “Autonomous Administration” had suspended all government educational complexes and prevented government teachers from opening home schools, making the autonomous curriculum the only way to learn to read and write, in addition to imposing the Kurdish language in parts of the regions mentioned.
The “Autonomous Administration” imposed the teaching of the Kurdish language and the subject of “ethics” in the schools of Manbij
The Director of Education in Raqqa, Firas Al-Alou, explained in a statement to Al-Akhbar that “the Directorate of Education in Raqqa only supervises the areas under the control of the Syrian government in the liberated camp, in which around 30,000 students study in 112 schools, “adding that” Students in the city of Raqqa and its countryside outside the control of the government are suffering from the imposition of different curricula, for the first time this year, after several years of implementing the plan. of government studies “. Al-Alou noted that “the management has taken various measures so that diploma students can sit for exams, based on scientific evidence for students of basic and secondary education certificates, as a measure to prevent students from dropping out. public education “.
As for the city of Manbij, it escaped the imposition of the “self-management” curriculum thanks to its residents adhering to the application of the government curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education, with the addition of the Kurdish language and subjects of “ethics” on the part of the “me”. According to the Director of the Education Complex in Manbij and his field, Hussein Haroun, “314 schools in the city of Manbij and his field continue to implement the government curricula, depending on the administrative and teaching staff of the residents of the region.” Haroun notes that “more than 4,500 students from Manbij were able to apply for the high school exam in the city of Aleppo this year.”
Difficulties in Deir Ezzor
The control of the Syrian government over the main cities of the administrative geography of the Deir Ezzor governorate (Deir Ezzor, Mayadin and Albu Kamal) allowed a large number of students to be absorbed into the public schools, and the students left part of the eastern countryside and northern government. The rural people under the control of the “SDF” in Deir Ezzor, through the protest demonstrations, were able to avoid the implementation of “their own” curricula in their areas, and replace them with the “UNICEF” curriculum. , but without any governmental recognition, because there is no governmental educational institution in that Regions. According to the director of education at Deir Ezzor, Nashat al-Ali, who spoke with Al-Akhbar, “the leadership does not recognize any curriculum other than the Syrian government curriculum, and does not endorse any documents issued by areas outside of control”. Al-Ali affirmed that “around 129 thousand students receive public education in 334 schools in the Deir Ezzor governorate”, referring to “the facilities carried out by the Directorate for all students who wish to enter public schools, after conducting a test that determines the year that matches their educational level ”.
Al-Hasakah is an exception
Exceptional government measures in Al-Hasakah have succeeded in encouraging thousands of students who dropped out of education or enrolled in “self-managed” schools to enroll in public education, leading to a significant decrease in the number of dropouts this year. Although figures from the Directorate of Education registered, last year, the enrollment of around 120,000 students in public schools, the expected figures for this year exceed 150,000 students, despite the decrease in the number of public schools in 407 to 179 public schools only, after the Autonomous Administration took control of a large number. Of the schools of the province. “Management has taken exceptional steps by investing in government buildings and plazas in the cities of Qamishli and Hasakah, and has established 200 prefabricated classrooms to house students in public education, while granting exceptional licenses to open private schools,” Hasaka education director Ilham Surkhan told Al-Akhbar. He added that “home schools have been allowed to open in remote areas, in addition to exempting students who cannot get to schools on time, and passing sufficient exams, assigning a probationary period for students who drop out. and enroll them in the appropriate classes. ” It refers to “the adoption of the Category (B) system, which is based on teaching a two-year curriculum in one year, with the aim of compensating students who dropped out of school for what they lost in years It concludes by asking that “the so-called Autonomous Administration stop the usurpation of public schools and neutralize the education of political and military conflicts.
