Abdul Rahman Al-Haj, advisor for education in the interim government, said that the interim government has been issuing high school certificates based on the revised Syrian curriculum, and that these certificates have been recognized by Turkey and France. Twenty Syrian students with the new high school certificates have got French scholarships. Responsible for the subject of the Libyan secondary certificates. We are seeking to obtain recognition of the high school certificate in the EU countries, the United States and the Arab states that support the Syrian Revolution. The success rate in the high school exams was moderate, which indicates that the exams were conducted according to standard regulations as they were supervised by international observers and experts in education. Moreover, the exams were prepared by experienced Syrian specialists. We can say that the whole process was successfully conducted, while the strict standards we applied will help achieve wider recognition of the high school certificate issued by the interim Ministry of Education.” Haj also said that Ministry is working on improving the curriculum and the educational process as a whole through the establishment of vocational training center for teachers to hone and develop their expertise and skills. There is an increase in the number of students applying for the high school certificate issued by the interim government which we seek to replace the certificate issued by the Assad regime. We are also working to provide alternatives for the educational documents for all Syrian students inside and outside Syria, and to provide higher education for tens of thousands of Syrians whether through vocational institutes or through the Syrian national universities which the interim government is working to establish in cooperation with our friendly countries.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
