EDUCATION continued from page 34<br />
is compulsory through age 11. Secondary<br />
education in Iraq is six years in<br />
duration and completed in two stages:<br />
Intermediate and Preparatory.<br />
Even though it is now gone, ISIS<br />
damaged the Iraqi education system<br />
severely. One out of every five schools<br />
in Iraq were put out of use. The terrorist<br />
group really hurt the country’s education,<br />
by closing some schools and<br />
using others as a place to radicalize<br />
children. Parents were forced to send<br />
their children to these schools under<br />
the threat of death.<br />
Even after ISIS was expelled, many<br />
children were out of school for two years,<br />
because of the closure of many schools.<br />
This meant the loss of two school years<br />
and the need to catch up educationally.<br />
Unfortunately, the Iraqi government<br />
does not dedicate enough budget<br />
for the education of the country’s<br />
youth. Most of the Iraqi government’s<br />
budget is spent on religious institutions<br />
and the military.<br />
Even if the situation is quite dire<br />
when it comes to education in Iraq, international<br />
organizations have not left the<br />
country without help. For example, UNI-<br />
CEF has made tons of improvements,<br />
building new schools and fixing existing<br />
water systems in addition to training<br />
more than 50,000 teachers and supplying<br />
children with school materials. UNI-<br />
CEF has helped around nearly 700,000<br />
children access education in Iraq.<br />
U.N. statistics indicate that the average<br />
Iraqi boy over 15 has less than 5<br />
years of schooling and nearly half of<br />
Iraqi girls have none. Bombing, looting,<br />
and burning (including the education<br />
ministry headquarters) in 2003<br />
administered the coup de grace to the<br />
old system—and created a golden opportunity<br />
to build a new one.<br />
The fight for education is far from<br />
over in Iraq, and children continue<br />
to search for glimmers of hope. Children’s<br />
education is key to the rebuilding<br />
of society in Iraq and mandatory<br />
for the troubled nation to achieve a<br />
sustainable peace.<br />
Educating children is the best hope<br />
for the future of Iraq. Let’s hope that this<br />
will happen in the years to come.<br />
