KRG successfully reintegrates over 12,000 children into education system: KRG Minister of Education
“With the support of UNICEF, Barzani Charity Foundation, PAW, NRC, Intersos Humanitarian Organization, and Kurdistan Save the Children’s Fund, we have conducted an intensive field campaign over the past five years," said the Minister.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has successfully reintegrated more than 12,000 children into the education system who were previously excluded this year, announced the Minister of Education.
Alan Hama Saeed, the KRG Minister of Education, stated, “With the support of UNICEF, Barzani Charity Foundation, PAW, NRC, Intersos Humanitarian Organization, and Kurdistan Save the Children’s Fund, we have conducted an intensive field campaign over the past five years.”
“For the 2023-2024 academic year, we have managed to bring back 12,334 children who had been separated from schools and the education process,” Saeed reported.
He also highlighted that the KRG has returned a total of 26,384 children to school during the ninth cabinet. "This significant achievement was the result of meticulous planning. We ensured that the ministry, teachers, and all individuals involved did not just focus on those who had left the education process but also took serious steps to reintegrate them,” Saeed said.
“These children were excluded from education before this cabinet, many belonging to previous years. Some were so old that they have been placed in extraordinary education programs, as ordinary education does not cover them,” he explained.
