PYD/YPG closes schools leaving 2,000 Syrian children out of education

The outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party's (PKK) Syrian affiliates, the terrorist Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its armed wing, the People's Protection Units (YPG), have left thousands of children in the north Syrian Qamishli and Hasakah areas out of school.

Manahil Elbir Secondary School authorities said, on condition of anonymity, that the PYD/YPG militants had been threatening the school administration for a long time because they do not follow the terrorists' ideology.

The sources also added that the terrorists raided the schools, evacuated students from the building and sealed it off.

“They threatened minors and warned them to not come to the school anymore,” sources said.

PKK/PYD/YPG members also told the school administration that they closed the institution because they refused to accept the terrorists' school curriculum.

This was not the first time that the terror group forced schools to cease their activities.

Private Ümit School, Barış School, Fırat Collage and an Armenian school in YPG-held areas in northeastern Syria were closed by PKK/PYD/YPG terrorists in October.

Authorities of the closed schools said the YPG-prepared curriculum is full of terror propaganda.

The books contain imprisoned terror leader Abdullah Öcalan's photograph and propaganda on him, as the curriculum was prepared according based on PKK/PYD/YPG ideology.
