Continued suffering of Yazidi students and schoolchildren in Sinjar district
Students living in Sinjar demanded from the Ministry of Education in Kurdistan consent to conduct final exams in their region of residence, as in addition to other problems, traveling long distances causes difficulties, which has a direct impact on the level of students' education.
Not only that, more than 1,000 Yezidi students from the first to sixth grades of secondary school do not have access to their native Yezidi language, children are forced to study the so-called Kurdish language, because the government of Kurdistan does not recognize the Yezidi people as a nationality and ethnos, they simply call them "Yezidi Kurds", although such a nationality does not exist. In addition to this problem, Sinjar students constantly must travel to other regions for knowledge, which is a big problem for both students and their parents.
One of the sixth-grade students of a Kurdish school that is part of the Kurdistan regional government, Hana Yousef, a Yazidi by nationality, said that the most important problem of their educational institution is the lack of teachers in Sinjar, for this reason, every day students have to travel long distances in order to get to the school where they are registered.
Hana and her peers are afraid that the Kurdistan regional government will move the final exams to the Dahuk region under the pretext of instability of the security situation in Sinjar, which will complicate the whole situation, worries and stress will double and will be able to affect their final grades, which is a crucial stage related to the future of young people.
After ISIS took control of the Sinjar district in the summer of 2014, most of the schools were destroyed, and all teaching staff and students were evicted from the district, after its liberation from terrorist control and the return of displaced persons, the opening of several schools remains problematic.
The total number of students receiving Kurdish education is about 29 thousand people.
About 11 thousand of them are from Shangal.
Students of the 12th grade – 1000 people.
The total number of Kurdish schools is 92.
