Abstract

(John Vannes), the director of (Al-Raja International American School for Boys), and Lord (Henry Dobbs) looked at the conditions of the Ottoman schools in Iraq, in which education stopped after the British occupation. Henry Dobbs criticized the Ottoman educational policy, indicating that the Turkish language was the main language of education, while the language Arabic is a secondary language, and the British authorities followed the education system in Iraq according to the Egyptian educational system on the other hand, the British authorities encouraged educated students to enroll in the Teachers' House by giving its members a monthly allowance of (30) rupees. The British authorities faced the problem of awareness of the lack of students enrolled in primary schools, especially the poor among them. (Muhammad Heba Al-Din Al-Shahristani) became a minister of knowledge in the Al-Naqibiya government, which is the government after King Faisal I assumed the throne of Iraq, and one of the tasks of the Ministry of Education is the formation of a general council for knowledge in Baghdad, which included more than twenty members. King Faisal I had a positive attitude towards education, trying to correct the course that the Ottoman state had taken, and King Faisal I tried to create an educational balance between the various sects. Education in Iraq suffered for a period from 1932 to 1958, which is considered one of the most difficult periods that educational life in Iraq went through, as it suffered from the effects of World War II.
