Our Mother Tongue

The Kurds in Syria lived decades of deprivation in speaking and studying in the Kurdish language as a result of political pressure. However, after the Kurds took control of the northern regions of Syria following the withdrawal of the Syrian regime, they established their own educational system consisting of Kurdish curricula for all elementary, preparatory and secondary levels in the 3 cantons:(al-Jazeera, the Euphrates and Afrin), in a positive and exciting step.

Where the administration began teaching in the Kurdish language since 2012 when the regime withdrew from those areas through the opening of schools to teach the Kurdish language and then introduce the Kurdish language for a few hours in schools through specific teachers until the arrival of students to the level of education basis of the Kurdish language.

After the announcement of the Democratic  Autonomous Administration, the Education and Rehabilitation Commission was formed. Some 2600 Kurdish schools and teachers worked on printing books to cover the needs of schools, the development of society and the liberation of communities, nations, clans and popular groups, the basics of their language and the reality of society.

And love in the true sense is to search for education in the mother tongue, and there are those who do not know the importance of learning in the mother tongue, so it is important to overcome these ideas in the field of ideology and strive to develop and teach our Kurdish language.

As leader Abdullah Ocalan said, “Science and truth are love, love is a free life, the homeland is life, and those who do not love the homeland are not worthy of life.” Our lives are linked to our learning and our language.

Education is one of the most important elements of building an advanced society and, the more we move away from national conflicts, the more we contribute to the creation of a cohesive generation: “Long Live Education and Long Live our Mother Tongue.”
