Under the Pretext of Educational Projects.. Fears Rise of Entrenching Cultural Change in "Afrin"
-
The opening of a huge school in Jindires with South Korean support and the presence of Turkish officials raises questions about the real objectives behind these educational projects in areas under Tur
In a striking development that stirs debate about reconstruction policies in northern Syria, the "Syrian Civil Defense" with support from the South Korean organization "JTS", opened the Khalid bin Al-Walid School in the city of Jindires on Wednesday. The opening ceremony was attended by Turkish officials and representatives of the "Syrian Interim Government", in a move that reflects the complexities of the political and humanitarian scene in the region.
The new school is considered the largest in northern Syria, comprising 112 rooms and accommodating 4,000 students with more than 850 study seats. Observers view that the size of the project and the nature of the parties involved raise questions about the real objectives behind these educational initiatives in areas under Turkish influence.
Analysts point out that the implementation of this project may fall within a broader policy aimed at consolidating the cultural change of the Kurdish identity of the Afrin region. They note that South Korean funding for the project represents a shift from the pattern of previous funding from Arab and Muslim Brotherhood sources, reflecting the complexities of international relations in the region.
The participation of the "Syrian Civil Defense" (White Helmets) in implementing an educational project also raises questions about the expansion of the organization's role beyond its original humanitarian missions. Experts warn that this expansion further affects the organization's questionable neutrality and alleged credibility in the future.
In light of these developments, concerns emerge about the exploitation of development and educational projects for political and cultural purposes that may affect the social fabric of the region. Observers call for the need to closely monitor these projects to ensure they respect the local cultural identity and are not used as a tool for forced demographic or cultural change.
