The Kawergosk camp is located northwest of Irbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. It comprises three special schools for Syrian refugees, in the various study cycles—namely elementary, middle, and secondary schools.
The camp’s schools house circa 300 students—a fraction Syrian refugees in the Kurdistan region. The schools are supervised and administered by 62 Syrian school teachers, as well as 10 teachers from the [Kurdistan] region.
Students receive instruction in both Arabic and Kurdish. The Kawergosk camp, however, receives no aid from any Syrian opposition institutions; its schools rely on aid from UNICEF and the Barzani Charitable Foundation, the charity of the Kurdistan region of Iraq’s president, Massoud Barzani.
In the aforementioned three schools, the female ratio of students is superior to males; as males are invariably preoccupied with work, to try and secure the needs of their loved ones!
