Students in Sweida protest relocation of their exam centers outside the province

Our correspondent from the city of Sweida reported that the city witnessed a student protest against the interim government's decision in Syria regarding public certificate exams, which deprives about 13,000 students from taking their exams within the governorate, relying instead on ministerial centers in Damascus and the northern countryside of Sweida.

ANHA correspondent from the city of Sweida reported that the city witnessed a student protest against the decision of the interim government in Syria regarding public certificate exams, which deprives about 13,000 students from taking their exams within the governorate and relies on ministerial centers in Damascus and the northern countryside of Sweida.

The participants raised banners that read, "Exams under independent local and international supervision, not under the supervision of the entity that has lost people's trust," "Genocide does not start with killing but with preventing students from learning freely and with dignity," "A free teacher builds a nation, while a fearful teacher builds silence," "Stop the cultural genocide against Bashan students," considering that the decision puts the families and students of the province in front of two options: either accept the reality or reject it and bear the consequences.

The protesters confirmed that relocating the exam centers outside their areas imposes a significant burden on students and their families, given the difficult security and living conditions.

The protesters also called on the United Nations, human rights and humanitarian organizations, and UNESCO to intervene urgently to ensure the right of Sweida students to take their exams within the province, away from political pressures and conflicts.
