PM directs HE ministry to ease path for Yazidi survivors

In a significant move to support the long-term recovery of those who endured the atrocities of ISIS, Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region in Iraq Masrour Barzani has directed his government to implement special educational accommodations for survivors, particularly from the Yazidi community, to facilitate their return to higher education, reports Kurdistan24.

An official letter from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Council of Ministers was sent on Wednesday to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, outlining the prime minister’s directive. The letter, signed by Dr Omed Sabah, president of the council’s Diwan, instructs the ministry to create a framework to ease the path for registered survivors to continue their education, which for many was violently interrupted by the terrorist group.

The directive comes more than a decade after the ISIS genocide against the Yazidi community, which began on 3 August 2014.
