Education Sector
Shahid Jabbar Exemplary School
KSC believes education is the key to a childs development. We run various educational projects around Iraqi Kurdistan and they have played an important role in Kurdish society over the last 13 years. The children in Iraqi Kurdistan have been ignored for years and KSC was the only organisation giving them a place to play and really be children. Every child in Iraqi Kurdistan has the right to basic education. Unfortunately the teaching methods, buildings, equipment and facilities are old-fashioned and limited. KSC has a broad-based education sector, which tries to address all aspects of education to create a better future. We support educational institutions for children and run several of them ourselves.
KSC Education Sector runs and supervises a number of long-term educational projects. The main objectives of the Sector and its projects are to empower children via providing access to educational opportunities and to prepare them for being active participants in the process of social development in the future. The Sector also works for providing appropriate educational training to the children with special needs, and creating safe environment for them so that they could be more self-confident and self-dependent in future. The Sector’s aim is to provide services to all children, without any exception, especially to those who are in dire need of them.

The main focus of the Centre is to raise the abilities of the children with special needs so that they became to attend mainstream educational institutions...
