mainly providing evening courses. In 1964, the University was given the
status of a semi-state institution and some state financial support.
The original Mustansiriya Madrasah was established in 1227 (or 1232/34
A.D. by some accounts) by the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mustansir and was one
of the oldest universities in the world. Its building, on the left bank of

1.3 problem statement

The population of Iraq is currently estimated at around 40 million.6 of

them are student. The population growth rate is 2.8%. In general, the
education system in Iraq was high-performing until the early 1980s. In the
preceding years, the country had continued to improve at all levels of
education and had achieved nearly universal primary enrolment in 1980.
Thereafter, following more than two decades of major wars, disastrous
military adventures, and irrational policies the system went into a steady
decline, driven by a combination of: · Lack of resources as public funds
were siphoned off for military expenditures and other priorities of the
ruling regime· The politicization of the education system, which
influenced everything and effected the infra structure of the education
system.

So the development of the educational infra structure will be the first

step of Improving the educational system in our country and stop it from
further decline.
