Controversy over delayed school start in Iraq
The Iraqi Ministry of Education has announced the postponement of the 2026-2027 school year start date from September 20 to October 11, in order to prepare schools and complete examination arrangements, while considering the high temperatures and availability of educational supplies. It appears that the decision to delay was made following appeals from educational authorities, amid speculations linking it to the timing of the withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq and arms restrictions. However, the ministry denied any direct connection between those issues and the delay. The aim of the postponement is to reduce learning loss caused by official holidays and political events, with a focus on safeguarding the smooth progress of the educational process under changing circumstances.
