| Summary: | Human capital development is imperative
to achieve sustainable economic growth in Iraq. At the heart
of Iraq’s human capital crisis is a learning crisis, which
is exacerbated by effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19)
crisis on education service delivery. The low levels of
human capital development, coupled with limited
opportunities to gain job-relevant skills, have translated
into worsening economic and social outcomes. To overcome
these sources of fragility and spur sustainable human
capital driven economic growth, change can only be brought
about through a comprehensive reform agenda that addresses
the inefficiencies in the education sector and promotes a
renewed focus on learning. This Iraq education reform note
proposes actionable reforms for key education sector inputs
to lead to better learning and skills development. |
