The College of Education for Human Sciences organizes a workshop on (Education in the City of Architecture during the Royal Era)
The Continuing Education Unit at the College of Education organized a workshop on (Education in the City of Architecture during the Royal Era) with the participation of researchers and specialists, and the workshop included a lecture presented by Dr. Jassim Muhammad Shagit
During which he discussed that education in architecture was not the result of a single policy. Rather, these policies varied according to the different periods in which they lived. Although the Ottomans laid the foundation stone in building modern education in Iraq, they were not successful in their mission, and during the British occupation the occupation authorities worked with a motive. Political considerations are aimed at opening public schools, and not motivated by the desire to provide educational services to citizens,
The workshop discussed the increase in primary schools that Amara witnessed a clear expansion, especially in villages and rural areas, as new schools known as (rural schools) were opened. This may be due to its commitment to implementing the recommendations of the Monroe Committee. The development that took place in the preparation of schools was an increase in quantity at the expense of gender. These schools, although they contained a section of different activities, were in fact not sufficient to consider them as models for the development of education in architecture.
The workshop showed that the Ministry of Education was not the only body responsible for what education suffered in Iraq in general and architecture in particular, but the backward social and economic conditions prevailing at that time had a clear impact on that.
