The Deputy Speaker also said that he was glad that the government has decided to reopen schools, which have been only open intermittently due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and said he hopes that the academic process will be successful despite the current adverse health situation.

The staff of the KTU thanked the MPs for their visit and asked Parliament to help resolve teachers’, pupils’ and students’ problems.

The MPs said that they will continue to look into the problems that teachers have raised through Parliament’s Committee of Education, Higher Education and Scientific Research, and with the ministries of education and higher education.

The delegation said the Kurdistan Parliament will not hesitate to pass legislation and urge the authorities to provide better livelihoods for Kurdistan’s teachers. They said that the challenges can be overcome by working together.
