Report on the State of the Art of the Iraqi Higher Education System And D1.4 Update needs analysis report State of the Art of the Higher Education system and its governance in Iraq Innovative Governance Practices in the Higher Education Institutions in Iraq Authors Martina Zipoli, Silvia Marchionne, Marco Di Donato, Federica De Giorgi UNIMED, Mediterranean Universities Union Contributors Sudad Ahmed, Osamah Abdullatif, Sudad Amer Dayl (University of Baghdad) About INsPIRE The overarching goal of INsPIRE is to support, through the cooperation of European institutions, the rebuilding, modernization, and internationalization of the governance system of higher education institutions (HEIs) in Iraq with a specific focus on planning and programming systems. Due to the recent crisis and political economic situation, the current higher education system requires a strong intervention to face the weakness of the existing governance system. To institutionalize good governance practices in Iraqi HEIs, which also means enforcing institutional values such as autonomy, accountability, participation, and internationalization, as well as implementing well-structured management systems, will contribute to the development of Iraqi HIEs helping them to meet the international standards. The aim of the project is to support HEIs in Iraq in order to make them capable of establishing a modern governance framework through the adoption of innovative practices. The specific objectives of INsPIRE are the following: . Enhancing good governance, management and accountability practices in the HEIs . Establishing a clear governance framework, including well-defined and clear mission and goals through the definition and implementation of action plans . Strengthening the international relations management within the HEIs . Improving participation in strategic planning and development activities for non-university actors and non-state actors More at www.projectinspire.eu Project Partners .

A special thank goes to all the colleagues directly and indirectly involved that greatly assisted the research. We thank all the Iraqi Universities partners of the project and the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research for having provided us with sources, assistance and contributions, and for the comments and inputs that greatly improved the research process and the research outcomes. Any error in data and statistics reported in this Report is the sole responsibility of the UNIMED research team and represent only UNIMED views. 5 Innovative Governance Practices in the Higher Education Institutions in Iraq Introduction The first step of the project is to conduct an up-to-date needs analysis of the Iraqi Higher Education governace system, which requires, besides the realisation of a comprehensive literature review aimed at identifying the existing governance frameworks, the development of a tailored analysis of key dimensions with the support and collaboration of one Iraqi university. The study aims at identifying the current situation of the universities involved in the project and enables the identification of specific needs to address. Covering a number of dimensions related to the improvement of a governance framework, the study aims also to delineate both gaps and priorities in governance practices to address, setting a number of objectives for Universities to achieve. The analysis is based on a combination of a desk research, a self-evaluation and a diagnostic tool elaborated by European experts. The study has been carried out starting from a desk research, consisting in reviewing relevant literature and collecting previous expertise in order to develop a baseline knowledge, and standardize the understanding of concepts and terminologies related to HE governance among the consortium institutions. Upon the desk research findings, the report has been informed by the data from a survey and the results of a self-assessment conducted through a governance diagnostic tool. Results have been elaborated through a close collaboration between the WP1 Leader, UNIMED, and the WP1 co-leader, the University of Baghdad. All the other partners have contributed to the analysis providing key information to the researchers, and supporting UNIMED in fully understanding the key features of the Iraqi HE governance system. The current Report sums up all the activities performed, representing on the one side the first achievement of the project, on the other side the knowledge base upon which the subsequent activities are designed (from the capacity building action, to the outlining of the actions plans and the governance reform process itself). 1. Methodological Note The overall objective of the study is to provide Partners with a picture of Higher Education governance in Iraq, which serves as a reference for the future developments of Higher Education Institutions in the country with the aim of meeting international quality standards. Researchers relied on a qualitative methodology to conduct data collection and the Report has been written by directly involving Iraqi partners, both the Universities of the Consortium and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This study, as part of the work under the Work Package 1 of the INsPIRE project, is the result of more than 6 months of research, reflections, conversations, exchanges and writing conducted by the UNIMED team (in alphabetical order: Federica De Giorgi, Marco Di Donato, Silvia Marchionne, Martina Zipoli) in strong collaboration with the WP co-leader the University of Baghdad, in the person of Sudad Amer Dayl, the Iraqi Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research represented by Hussain Al-Rubaiey and Huda Abdullah, and the contribution by all the Iraqi Universities of the Consortium: Wasit University, Southern Technical 6 Innovative Governance Practices in the Higher Education Institutions in Iraq University, Al Karkh University for Science, University of Basrah Oil and Gas, Al-Qasim Green University, University of Sumer, Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University, University of Basrah, University of Baghdad, University of Mosul.

  • The University at War1
    The University at War1 By Hugh Gusterson (George Mason University) The political scientist Mark Duffield has observed that the effect of Western intervention in Iraq has actually been to “demodernize” that country.2 This is ironic given that the military campaigns against Iraq and Afghanistan have been accompanied by narratives of the West’s obligation to modernize backward nations. Nowhere is the truth of Duffield’s observation clearer than in the story of what has happened to Iraq’s education system, especially its higher education system. Western intervention has ended up destroying Iraq’s universities, formerly among the best in the region, as functional institutions. “Up to the Early 1980s, Iraq’s educational system was considered one of the best in the Middle East. As a result of its drastic and prolonged decline since then, it is now one of the weakest,” concludes a 2008 official report.3 Iraq has a long and venerable tradition as a center of higher learning. As Eric Herring observes, “Iraqis tend to see themselves proudly as coming from a society that was the cradle of civilization in its ancient contributions to the development of writing, legal systems, libraries, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, technology and so on.”4 Mosul houses the world’s oldest known library, which dates to the seventh century. And In 832 the construction of the Byat al Hikma (house of Wisdom) established the new capital [Baghdad] as an unrivaled center of scholarship and intellectual exchange. The tradition of research there brought advances in astronomy, optics, physics and mathematics. The father of algebra, Al Khawarizmii, labored among its scrolls.

For this purpose, geotechnical data have been collected covering wide areas of the city. The study area was divided into two zones, one of them was further divided into three subzones. For each of the zones considered, geotechnical information including typical soil profiles, Standard Penetration Test (SPT-N) values, Atterberg limits, sieve analysis results, consolidation test results and other physical aspects were given. Furthermore, chemical analysis of Basrah soil was also presented. According to field and laboratory results, soils in this region can be classified into two distinct zones. The eastern zone, which mainly forms of soft and medium cohesion soils extended from the soil surface down to a depth of (16 – 26) m, and, the western zone, which can be identified by the sandy surficial and stratigraphic soil.
