Abstract	Since Iraq gained independence in the 1930s and particularly since it became a republic in the 1950s and began earning oil revenue, efforts to improve Iraqi education have received increasing attention. By 1984 the educational system had achieved the ability to enroll every child reaching the age of six, and a national campaign to reduce illiteracy among those aged 15 to 45 was under way. Iraq now has an educational system in place offering preprimary, primary, intermediate, secondary, and higher education. The system is segregated by sex at the intermediate and secondary levels, but this segregation is slowly breaking down. Secondary education is split into general and technical/vocational tracks. Higher education is available at six universities (as well as other institutions) for students receiving good grades in the general secondary program. Enrollment at all levels increased substantially from 1968 to 1984; the annual rate of increase ranged from 14 percent at the primary level to 36 percent in secondary vocational schools. Despite these increases, Iraqi education still faces severe underenrollment (considering Iraq's manpower needs) in technical programs, higher education, and teacher training, and must significantly increase instructional and administrative staffing at all levels.
