Textbook Printing Crisis Raises Concerns
Iraq is facing a severe crisis in printing and providing textbooks at the start of the new school year, as funding problems hinder financial allocations. Only a small percentage of the curricula has been made available so far, and printing and preparation efforts have been at a standstill, except for the English language textbook, which was supplied in quantities from last year. This crisis is forcing families to bear significant financial burdens to purchase notebooks and photocopy books, threatening free education and increasing the hardships faced by students and parents. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education has failed to provide transparent data and has refused to interact with Parliament. Printing procedures remain delayed due to a lack of funding and the absence of clear mechanisms for pre-distribution of textbooks, which worsens the situation and places considerable pressure on families, threatening the stability of the educational process.
