ERBIL, Kurdistan Region- The liberated Kurdish town of Kobane has opened its first school after coalition-backed Kurdish fighters liberated the town from ISIS militant earlier this year, sources in the area said. According to reports, the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) reopened a local primary school with 10 teachers and an estimated 250 children. Many of the students returned to the city with their families after the liberation. The school, named Shahid Osman primary school, consists of eight classes and has basic educational facilities. It provides educational materials designed for children from age 7 to 15. The ethnically Kurdish city, in an area known as Rojava, was liberated from ISIS militants in January.
