Syrian opposition launches program to teach Kurdish language in Aleppo
Syrian Kurds in the areas of the Syrian opposition welcomed the decision to launch a program to teach the Kurdish language at the opposition-affiliated Free Aleppo University in the city of Azaz.
ALEPPO, Syria — The Free Aleppo University, affiliated with the Syrian opposition’s Interim Government, in Azaz in the northern countryside of Aleppo has started a training program for teaching the Kurdish language.
The two-month program, the first of its kind in northwest Syria, began Aug. 14 at the university’s Higher Institute of Languages, which was established in July.
In a statement on its Facebook page, the university said that 90 male and female students have enrolled in the program and that they were divided into four sections after passing an evaluation test.
The university stressed the importance of this program in light of the presence of many Kurdish students in the “liberated areas” (in reference to the areas under the control of the Turkish-backed factions), who aspire to attend academic educational programs.
