Closure of IDP schools
“The Ministry confirmed that the decision related to closure of IDP schools in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq is still in effect, however, given the circumstances in the liberated areas and the inability of some families to return to their governorates of origin due to lack of basic infrastructure, the ministry decided to take some exceptional measures for some IDP schools to remain functional”.
