One of the most unfortunate aspects of the Kurdish community is that a large number of its members are unable to speak their own languages. The roots of this problem are the political problems faced by the Kurdish people in their home lands and the restrictions on the use of their mother tongue.

It is for this reason that the KCC has been leading in the provision of mother tongue classes for the members of its community.

Currently Kurdish“Kurmaci” is thought to children as part
of the KCC’s supplementary school and to young adults
on Saturdays and Sundays. The KCC treats these classes
as a vital part of its services to its community for the simple
reason that without their mother tongue the community
will be without its cultural identity.
