Syria's first Kurdish university attracts controversy as well as students
Syrian Kurds have big plans to expand the first university based in Rojava, which they launched just last year.
A group of dedicated educators has found a way to circumvent the war that has disrupted all aspects of Syrian life. Since students can't travel to universities to study, a university has come to them.
Afrin University, the first university based in Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan), began registering students in August. Though it is not yet accredited, the school's officials already plan to expand its offerings and facilities.
