Kurdish language education protests in northeastern Syria
Syrian Kurds are protesting a new government decision to introduce Arabic-language instruction in schools, fearing the erosion of their identity and educational setbacks.
Background

In the northeast, Kurdish-led authorities established self-governance, including their own education system. The Syrian government seeks to reassert its authority and curriculum nationwide, leading to tensions over cultural and linguistic rights.
