With the start of the school year, the US-backed SDF militia attacked the teachers and students of the Martyr Hanna Atallah High School for the Outstanding Students in the city of Hasakah during their sit-in in front of the school to protest against the militia’s takeover of the school and prevented them from entering their classrooms.
The SDF’s armed militiamen attacked students and teachers during their sit-in in front of the school, beat them, threatening to use weapons to disperse them, and kidnapped a number of students amid chants denouncing the militia’s practices.
“The families and students reject the occupation of schools by the SDF militia which wants to turn them into military headquarters,”the Director of Al-Hasakah Education, Ilham Sourkhan, stated.
Sourkhan condemned the arrest and insult of students by the militia and called for the need for all parties to intervene to stop these disgraceful behaviors that want to prevent education by force of arms.
Today, about 3735521 students from different educational levels in all governorates went to 13,280 schools, with the Ministry of Education making the necessary preparations for the start of the new academic year 2020-2021 and securing a safe and healthy return for students and educational frameworks in light of the precautionary measures to address the Coronavirus.
The SDF militia forcibly seized most schools in the Governorate of Hasaka and reject the Syrian Ministry of Education approved curricula.
