Edurevue 's List: Iraq

American troops, George W. Bush and the sectarian violence that plagued the country for years after the invasion are non-existent whether in books or even class discussions.

Iraq's educational system no longer uses the heavily politicised Baathist curriculum, but the system is still as centralised as it was under Saddam. The education ministry in Baghdad decides which subjects will be taught, which schools will be rebuilt and other important priorities. In Iraqi Kurdistan, these decisions are, for the most part, made by the regional government's education ministry.
