According to United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, Iraq's once exemplary education system, which boasted nearly 100 percent primary enrollment in the 1970s, has drastically declined due to wars, violence and political instability.

Assafir Al-Arabi, an independent media platform in the Middle East, said that "following the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, the collapse in the education sector was clear, both in statistical data and in observable reality".
