The Ministry of Education under Syria's new administration has announced revisions to the curriculum across all educational levels, which has sparked debate.
I think any unilateral changes will spark debate among Syrians and not just westerners regardless of the issue. Sometimes when a story is covered by multiple outlets with different perspectives, translations or editorial styles I have to wing it and choose one to share. I did find it odd that Landis was the first person quoted and he wasn’t necessarily critical fd the changes, perhaps his post was getting a lot of traction at the time in Syria or among Syrians.
so … it sparks outrage among US scholars, not among the local population? did i read that correctly?
