Institutions of higher education and scientific research in Iraq no longer confine their ambitions and academic programs to the local environment alone. Their vision has expanded, and today, they’re making their mark on the global academic stage. From international publications to rising positions in global rankings, the signs of progress are clear to anyone watching closely.

Notably, UNESCO has praised the significant transformation in the educational systems of Iraqi universities. What’s more, their active collaboration with United Nations programs on joint initiatives is having a real, tangible impact—especially in areas like training and skill development.
