Education

Iraq’s education sector is regulated by two distinct authorities, the Ministry of Education for schools and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research for universities and higher education institutions, each with separate licensing frameworks, curriculum approval requirements, and compliance obligations. Investment in Iraq’s education sector is growing, driven by demand for international curriculum schools and private higher education. The regulatory requirements for establishing and operating in this sector are more demanding than most investors anticipate before they begin the process.
