They ensure teachers have the support needed to retell our nation’s past, empower the new generation and make Kurdistan a better place.
Congratulations.
Kurdish teachers on May 5, 1962, held the founding congress for the Kurdistan Teachers Union in Sulaimani amid the Aylul (September) Revolution, spearheaded by Mullah Mustafa Barzani against the former Iraqi regime.
The Union aimed to advocate for the rights of Kurdish teachers and participate in the revolution.
The Kurdish teachers faced numerous intimidations, assassinations, and arbitrary arrests in the history of the establishment.
