This, of course, contradicts the official Turkish statements that keep talking about the unity and integrity of the Syrian territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the academic year (2017-2018), the Turkish language was included in the curriculum for all grades from the first grade to the secondary one, in northwest Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Turkish language is also a main subject that is included in the general average for all grades, its full mark is 100, and the minimum failure rate is 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents of students in schools in the city of Azaz have complained about the difficulties their children face in accepting and learning the Turkish language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be mentioned that Turkey has opened several schools and centers in the areas under its control in northwest Syria to teach the Turkish language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In late February, Turkish officials opened a cultural center in the city of Jarablus in the eastern countryside of Aleppo, which was preceded by the opening of a medical college and a higher institute for health sciences in the city of al-Ra\u2019i, north of Aleppo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in the Syrian government commented on the decision to open the university as saying: &#8220;The Turkish decision is a flagrant violation of the &nbsp;international law.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Fansa Temmo <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Observers argue that #Turkey is paving the way, through education, for expansionist plans in northern #Syria, similar to the scenario of The Sanjak of Alexandretta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":69473,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,39,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-home","category-syria"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
