MAKHMOUR — Students in the Makhmour district face growing educational and living challenges that cast heavy shadows on their academic path, amid an acute shortage of basic services and school supplies, threatening their educational future.

Under the slogan "Toward a democratic society based on collective knowledge," the students of the Martyr Rustam Judi camp (Makhmour) held their fifth periodic conference, which is organized once every two years, with the participation of 300 delegates.

Speaking to our agency about the proceedings of the conference, Mowjda Bilen, a member of the Free Students' Union in Makhmour, began her statement by offering congratulations on the occasion of the holding of the fifth conference of the Free Students' Union (YXA-M) to Leader Abdullah Öcalan and the Kurdish people, affirming: "As every year, this year too we continue our work based on the principle of free organizing. Our goal is to establish the foundations of a democratic society, prepare our youth for the future, listen to their ideas, criticisms, and suggestions, and work to achieve their free visions on this path."

Mowjda Bilen shed light on collective approaches to solving the existing problems facing students. "We in the Free Students' Union in Makhmour seek to find answers about the nature of the problems within the system, how to solve them, and how to find a common path to move forward. I hope that the efforts that will be made will provide answers for students, for our people, and for our society."
