Teachers in Kurdish-speaking regions are raising concerns over new restrictions that limit the use of the Kurdish language in education, arguing the measures undermine cultural identity and student engagement. Critics say the policies reduce instructional time for Kurdish-language classes and restrict teaching materials, raising fears about long-term linguistic and educational gaps. The pushback comes amid broader debates over minority language rights and the balance between national education standards and regional linguistic heritage. Supporters of the changes defend them as necessary for standardization, but educators warn of potential consequences for students’ connection to their cultural roots.
