Report on Erbil conference highlights challenges facing Iraqi universities

An article in Times Higher Education has highlighted the major challenges facing Iraq’s universities as they struggle to forge international partnerships and adopt robust systems of assessment, evaluation and quality assurance. It draws on the results of a three-day conference organized by the Institute of International Education in collaboration with its Scholar Rescue Fund. The report notes "a shared understanding that quality assurance is a ‘national issue’, not merely a university issue", but warns that Iraq should "develop its own uniquely Iraqi model and culture of quality assurance" rather than adopt another country’s system wholesale.
