The Kurdistan Regional Government operates 50 schools where students receive instruction in Syriac, an ancient language with millennia of history. Ninth grader Sherpil Shimul says learning in his mother tongue helps him comprehend lessons more effectively than other languages would allow.

The regional parliament established legal protections for minority language education in 1993. Prime Minister Masrour Barzani recently emphasized that peaceful coexistence defines Kurdish society and affirmed government support for religious and cultural diversity.

Students attend classes taught entirely in Syriac while also studying Kurdish, English and Arabic as part of the broader curriculum. Some Kurdish students have enrolled in these schools alongside Syriac-speaking classmates, creating diverse learning environments.

Education officials confirm the government provides adequate textbooks, facilities and trained teachers for these institutions. Four new churches will open soon in Erbil and Duhok as part of wider efforts to support all religious communities across the region.
