Blog 4 Education Reform in Iraq

On February 20, 2013, an article was written on the future collaboration of International Computer Driving License (ICDL) GCC and CWI at the first Iraq Education and Technology Summit in Dubai. ICDL GCC Foundation is an activist in digital skills use and safety for-all and the sole operator of the ICDL certification program across the GCC and Iraq announced its collaboration with CWI Summits for the inaugural Education and Technology Iraq Summit 2013. For this event, high-ranking Iraqi government officials and the minister of Education and Science Research will be in attendance along with support from UNESCO Iraq, US Department of State and the US Embassy in Baghdad. The introduction and advancement of science and technology in the education field is significant in the education movement.  The purpose of the summit  “s to foster a solid public and private sector partnerships and a roadmap to boost the development of the physical and intellectual infrastructure in education in order to reach world-class status and improve the lives of Iraqi citizens.” In order to move forward and up in the world social class, Iraq feels as though they need to improve their education field.

                This collaboration will benefit the education movement in Iraq. Introducing technology in the education field will make the learning process for children a lot easier than it is now. It will also help adjust the budget for books because the children would be able to view things online rather than in old, worn-out textbooks. Not only does technology help advance learning, but it exposes the children to so much more culture outside of their own. World class is significant in growth in a nation and having technology moves you up socially because of the networking and connections made through technology. I feel this meeting will have a great impact on the Iraqi government and education reform.
