In order to ensure accuracy and objectivity in quoting the contents of the television interview

In order to ensure accuracy and objectivity in quoting the contents of the television interview conducted by the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Dr. Na’im Al-Abboudi, below are the key points he mentioned in the program “Republic of the Kingdom”:

  • The International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed its support for the zero nuclear reactor project in Iraq for the purpose of training and educational research, and we are working on establishing a research nuclear reactor to treat cancer cases.
  • Since assuming office, we have been working on developing university education paths related to students, the educational system, and professors.
  • The Bologna Process is an important gateway to the job market, and we have succeeded in implementing it in technical universities and engineering colleges. Graduates of Bologna Process accredited colleges will have their degrees recognized in European countries.
  • We are committed to updating curricula and have formed a high committee to keep up with scientific developments and specialized changes in the world.
  • We work in accordance with the state’s perspective and do not pay attention to political targeting. We have adopted a scientific and academic context as the basis for managing the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
  • The financial challenge in the Ministry of Education’s budget does not justify the lack of formulating opportunities, providing solutions, and contributing to development projects.
  • Education funds are necessary for the sustainability of the educational institution. In 2030, we will receive one million students.
  • Establishing universities is linked to the readiness and availability of human and material resources.
  • Some budget items have provided a positive space for partnership with the private sector to establish universities aimed at reducing the effects of population growth and accommodating the demand for higher education institutions.
  • The “Study in Iraq” program opens the door to attract international students from various nationalities, and currently, there are 1015 foreign students studying in Iraqi universities in various specialties.
  • The General Conference of the Arab Universities Union held in Baghdad was a qualitative event and a source of pride for the Arab academic delegations, and it received great acclaim.
  • Our procedures in the incident at the College of Computer Science were swift, involving seizing cameras, withdrawing the dean’s hand, forming an investigative committee, and the recommendations will be deterrent, including dismissing the employee from service.
  • It is necessary to preserve the values and ethics of society and protect the educational environment. We have formed a high committee linked to the minister to monitor universities, increase awareness, and confront extortion.
  • We support respectable graduation ceremonies and are not concerned with graduation practices that violate modesty outside universities.
  • I will not make exceptions regarding grades and scores. Admission competition to universities will be based on merit and fairness.
