Final six-month deadline for private universities in the 'North' to settle their status

Northern Syria, Syria ·

The Higher Education Council issued a decision giving private universities in northern Syria a further six months, the final extension, counted from the end of the previous deadline, to bring their status into line with scientific accreditation rules. Universities that fail to complete the required steps within that period risk closure.

Syria's education institutions have been fragmented since 2011, and parts of the north were for long periods outside central government control, which has made the recognition of their university degrees a complex issue.
