The Ferzad Kemanger Elementary School, the first one to provide education in the mother-tongue of Kurds in Turkey, was sealed on an instruction from Diyarbakır Governor's Office. The school in Amed's central Bağlar district provides mother-tongue education in Kurdish for children aged between 5 and 11.

Diyarbakır Provincial Directorate of National Education appealed to Diyarbakır Governor's Office in order for the school to be sealed in a report submitted after an inspection in the school last Wednesday which claimed that the school provided education inconsistent with the regulations and legislation of National Education. The Governor therewith instructed the police to close the school.

Police forces arrived at the school with armored vehicles on Sunday, as the school was on holiday and nobody was present there, and sealed it on the grounds that it operated contrary to the regulations.

The Ferzad Kemanger Elementary School was opened in 2013 and provided Kurdish education for 50 students in preschool class, 60 students in the 1st class, 65 students in the 2nd class and 63 students in the 3rd class with 18 teachers.
